• press release Underestimated Heat Storage
Climate change causes a storage of excess heat. A team led by the UFZ has calculated that more than 20 times as much heat has been stored on land since the 1960s. The greatest increase took place in the ground, but a significant quantity of heat is also stored in other components»
From now on, interested people can record flower-visiting insects using the "FIT Count" app - whether in their own garden or in the park around the corner. The results will flow into an EUwide monitoring system and help to complete the knowledge on the development of pollinators.»
The recently published Butterfly Grassland Indicator shows a further decline of butterflies in Europe. In the EU, the indicator is planned to serve for assessing progress made by member states in implementing the planned “Nature Restoration Law”.»
A team of researchers, including scientists from the UFZ, has studied how the characteristics of wild plant species change in the course of agricultural seed production. The results are important for optimising seed production for the ecological renaturation of degraded areas.»
UFZ scientists, together with UNEP-WCMC, have developed a guidebook for establishing fora for exchange at national level to better integrate nature and its services into decision-making. The guidebook captures experiences from 18 countries and supports the work of IPBES.»
