Small-scale retrieval of relevant soil parameters by a process-integrated soil sensor system and AI-based data evaluation as the basis for a climate-resilient, small-scale-specific crop production system.
Research activities include 1) the collection and processing of data on agricultural fields of participating farms as well as own experimental field trials with the novel cultivator sensor system, 2) the acquisition and processing of remote sensing...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2026-09-30Monitoring of the fertilizer ordinance and advancement of AGRUM-DE
As part of the ongoing infringement proceedings on the Nitrates Directive, the European Commission has called on Germany to set up a monitoring program that allows statements to be made on the effectiveness of the measures of the Fertilizer...
Term: 2021-03-15 bis 2026-12-31Monitoring of nitrogen emissions in crop production
The aim of the demonstration project is to test a concept for early and systematic measuring and forecasting of nitrate loads on agricultural land under practical conditions. Later, this early monitoring concept shall be integrated it in to a...
Term: 2024-01-01 bis 2026-12-31Circular nutrients for a sustainable Baltic Sea Region
CiNURGi’s main objective is to encourage the creation and development of a circular economy for nutrient recycling (NR) in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR), with emphasis on enhancing current infrastructures and technologies to maximize NR from...
Term: 2023-11-01 bis 2026-10-31Sustainable production and utilization of cattails on lowland moor sites in Lower Saxony (RoNNi)
In work package 3.3, agronomic parameters will be monitored; stand development will be documented over the establishment phase (years 1 to 3) and the development phase (years 4 to 6) and the long-term yield structure of the cattail species Typha...
Term: 2023-10-01 bis 2031-06-30Evaluate and effectively utilize climate protection potentials of agroforestry (KlimAF) TP0 JKI-PB
Agroforestry systems and hedgerows can greatly contribute to mitigating GHG emissions in agriculture, as tree strips and hedgerows can store carbon in their biomass and increase soil organic. In addition, these systems improve microclimate, reduce...
Term: 2023-06-02 bis 2026-06-30Improvement of the resistance of native trees to abiotic and biotic stress induced by climate change
The project is intended to help forests fulfill their function as carbon storage and for CO2 binding. Global climate changes pose dramatic challenges to our forest ecosystems. Negative effects, such as the current dieback of spruce trees in the Harz...
Term: 2024-05-01 bis 2027-04-30Humus accumulation with more roots
The aim of the WurCel project is to comprehensively quantify and evaluate the climate protection option of humus build-up through intensively rooting varieties and, in cooperation with breeders, to identify new ways in which root intensity (i.e....
Term: 2022-09-01 bis 2025-08-31Site-differentiated assessment and crediting of the efficacy of nitrification inhibitors as a climate mitigation measure in crop production
Nitrous oxide emissions (N2O emissions) from agriculture are accountable for around 80% of total N2O emissions in Germany and for 45% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agricultural sector. The largest source of N2O in agriculture is the use...
Term: 2022-10-01 bis 2026-09-30Measures to reduce direct and indirect climate-relevant emissions that result from denitrification in agricultural soils
Gaseous emissions from denitrification (nitrogen oxide, NO, nitrous oxide, N2O and molecular nitrogen, N2) cause crop-relevant nitrogen losses (N losses) and direct N2O emissions. The level is extremely variable and depends on climate factors,...
