Enviromics - key for habitat-tailored breeding? [28.09.2020]
One of the greatest challenges of modern agriculture is dealing with the limited prospects of significantly expanding farmed land. Tailoring highly adapted genetic material to the available environments becomes a key element to increase agricultural yields without the conversion of additional land and losses due to adverse environmental impact (Resende te al 2019).

Biodegradation of pesticides and soil health: It is all about the concentration [25.09.2020]
Pesticide treatments are still the method of choice for the control of crop pathogens although their ecotoxicological effect is still not sufficiently elucidated. After application, a considerable part of the pesticides gets into the topsoil, which has important filter and cleaning functions and thus provides essential ecosystem services, e.g. groundwater and water...more

Does climate change pose a threat to native hibernators?
[03.09.2020]
It is generally known that climate change will have profound implications for the survival and behavior of many species. Although a significant proportion of mammals hibernate, there is limited knowledge on how climate change might affect hibernating species. In a new study, researchers at the University of Hohenheim are investigating how fluctuations in ambient temperature...more
