Can buckwheat cultivation mitigate competition between honeybees and wild pollinators?
Managed honeybees are being used for honey production and crop pollination. However, due to their large numbers, they sometimes outcompete wild pollinators for the scarce flower resources during summer. Buckwheat is a mass-floweri ...

How do root traits drive decomposition rates?
Nearly half of Earth's plant biomass is belowground in the form of roots. Root materials are generally more fibrous and less digestible than aboveground plant parts, making their decomposition rates slower, so that the majority of ...

How do grazers affect soil carbon storage?
Temperate grasslands store large amounts of carbon, and the vast majority of this carbon is stored belowground. Thereby, they can play a key role in mitigating climate change. But how can we maximize their carbon sequestration pot ...

BSc thesis: roots traits and carbon storage
Maximizing belowground carbon strategy can significantly contribute to the mitigation of carbon storage. Most plant-derived soil carbon comes from roots, but we still understand little of which root traits are most important in dr ...

Grasslands - threatened hotspots of insect biodiversity
Grasslands host widely diverse communities of bugs, flies, bees and many other insects. But these buzzing habitats are under heavy pressure of human land use. Especially intensive agriculture has detrimental effects on grasslands ...
