A machine vision/learning approach for yield estimation in a wide spinach (Spinacia oleracea) field
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) shipped with on-board sensors have become an effective remote sensing (RS) tool in agriculture. They have been used mainly for image surveying and there are still many helpful aerial RS application t ...

Climate adaptation and mitigation potential of agroforestry systems
Agroforestry is increasingly recognised as a potential mitigation and adaptation strategy against climate change. Agroforestry is often argued to increase soil carbon, improve nutrient cycling and promote soil biodiversity. It i ...

Unravelling the composition of the hydrophilic acids SOM fraction
Natural organic matter is a key constituent of soils that plays a prominent role in generating the soil structure, the water holding capacity, the capacity to bind ions, etc. Soil organic matter (SOM) is very heterogeneous in natu ...

Assessing food availability for farmland birds in nature-inclusive farmland
Subsidizing the implementation of field margins is the main policy instrument to promote farmland biodiversity, but this measure alone was found to be insufficient to reverse negative population trends of farmland birds. Aspects o ...

The rooting strategies of grasses
In grasslands, more than half of plant biomass may be found belowground, in roots. Roots play important roles in plant interactions, nutrient cycling and carbon storage, but our understanding of root form and function is still lim ...

Exploring how soil-forming factors influence microbial warming responses in New Zealand
New Zealand is a model system to study how microbial activities and other biogeochemical processes will respond climate change due to its diverse soils and climates over a short geographic distance. In this project, we will explor ...

BSc/MSc project: Artificial light, green spaces and the biodiversity of moths in urban environments
Moths are some of the most biodiverse insects groups there are, and frequent visitors of gardens in urban environments. But what is driving their numbers and biodiversity in urban environments? With this project, you will investig ...

Establishing anaerobic activity of heterologous PFOR in E. coli
In this project, you will work on establishing the activity of heterologous pyruvate::ferredoxin oxidoreductases (PFOR). These enzymes are found in many different organisms, and our host organism, E. coli, natively also has one. H ...
