This paper examines the interconnectedness of soil biodiversity, climate change, and societal impacts, emphasizing the urgent need for integrated solutions. Human-induced biodiversity loss and climate change intensify environmental degradation, threatening human well-being. Soils, rich in biodiversity and vital for ecosystem function regulation, are highly vulnerable to these pressures, affecting nutrient cycling, soil fertility, and resilience. Soil also crucially regulates climate, influencing energy, water cycles, and carbon storage. Yet, climate change poses significant challenges to soil health and carbon dynamics, amplifying global warming. Integrated approaches are essential, including sustainable land management, policy interventions, technological innovations, and societal engagement. Practices like agroforestry and organic farming improve soil health and mitigate climate impacts. Effective policies and governance are crucial for promoting sustainable practices and soil conservation. Recent technologies aid in monitoring soil biodiversity and implementing sustainable land management. Societal engagement, through education and collective action, is vital for environmental stewardship. By prioritizing interdisciplinary research and addressing key frontiers, scientists can advance understanding of the soil biodiversity-climate change-society nexus, informing strategies for environmental sustainability and social equity.}, language = {en} } @misc{HuberBartkowskiBrownetal., author = {Huber, Robert and Bartkowski, Bartosz and Brown, Calum and El Benni, Nadja and Feil, Jan-Henning and Grohmann, Pascal and Joormann, Ineke and Leonhardt, Heidi and Mitter, Hermine and M{\"u}ller, Birgit}, title = {Farm typologies for understanding farm systems and improving agricultural policy}, series = {Agricultural Systems}, volume = {213}, journal = {Agricultural Systems}, publisher = {Elsevier BV}, issn = {0308-521X}, doi = {10.1016/j.agsy.2023.103800}, pages = {13}, language = {en} } @misc{WangVanVoornGrantetal., author = {Wang, Hsiao-Hsuan and Van Voorn, George and Grant, William E. and Zare, Fateme and Giupponi, Carlo and Steinmann, Patrick and M{\"u}ller, Birgit and Elsawah, Sondoss and Van Delden, Hedwig and Athanasiadis, Ioannis N. and Sun, Zhanli and Jager, Wander and Little, John C. and Jakeman, Anthony J.}, title = {Scale decisions and good practices in socio-environmental systems modelling: guidance and documentation during problem scoping and model formulation}, series = {Socio-Environmental Systems Modelling}, volume = {5}, journal = {Socio-Environmental Systems Modelling}, publisher = {Wageningen University and Research}, issn = {2663-3027}, doi = {10.18174/sesmo.18563}, abstract = {Models of socio-environmental or social-ecological systems (SES) commonly address problems requiring interdisciplinary scientific expertise and input from a heterogeneous group of stakeholders. In SES modelling multiple interactions occur on different scales among various phenomena. These scale phenomena include the technical, such as system variables, process detail, inputs and outputs, which most often require spatial, temporal, thematic and organisational choices. From a good practice and project efficiency perspective, the problem scoping and conceptual model formulation phase of modelling is the one to address well from the outset. During this phase, intense and substantive discussions should arise regarding appropriate scales at which to represent the different phenomena. Although the details of these discussions influence the path of model development, they are seldom documented and as a result often forgotten. We draw upon personal experience with existing protocols and communications in recent literature to propose preliminary guidelines for documenting these early discussions about the scale(s) of the studied phenomena. Our guidelines aim to aid modelling group members in building and capturing the richness of their rationale for scoping and scale decisions. The resulting transcripts are intended to promote transparency of modelling decisions and provide essential support for the justification of the final model for its intended use. They also facilitate adaptive modifications of the pathway of model development via retracing decisions and iterative reflection upon alternative scale options.}, language = {en} } @misc{WillGroeneveldLeneletal., author = {Will, Meike and Groeneveld, J{\"u}rgen and Lenel, Friederike and Frank, Karin and M{\"u}ller, Birgit}, title = {Determinants of household vulnerability in networks with formal insurance and informal risk-sharing}, series = {Ecological Economics}, volume = {212}, journal = {Ecological Economics}, publisher = {Elsevier BV}, issn = {0921-8009}, doi = {10.1016/j.ecolecon.2023.107921}, pages = {9}, language = {en} } @misc{AnderiesCummingClementsetal., author = {Anderies, John M. and Cumming, Graeme S. and Clements, Hayley S. and Lade, Steven J. and Seppelt, Ralf and Chawla, Sivee and M{\"u}ller, Birgit}, title = {A framework for conceptualizing and modeling social-ecological systems for conservation research}, series = {Biological Conservation}, volume = {275}, journal = {Biological Conservation}, publisher = {Elsevier BV}, issn = {0006-3207}, doi = {10.1016/j.biocon.2022.109769}, pages = {13}, language = {en} } @misc{WaegeleBodesheimBourlatetal., author = {W{\"a}gele, J.

We aimed to determine which saccadic and vestibulo-ocular reflex parameters best predict the presence of symptoms in unilateral vestibular hypofunction in order to better understand vestibular compensation and its implications for rehabilitation therapy. Methods: Video head impulse test data were analyzed from a subpopulation of 23 symptomatic and 10 currently symptom-free participants with unilateral vestibular hypofunction, embedded in the KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) FF4 study, the second follow-up of the KORA S4 population-based health survey (2,279 participants). Results: A higher number of catch-up saccades, a higher percentage of covert saccades, and a larger retinal error at 200 ms after the onset of the head impulse were associated with relevant symptoms in participants with unilateral vestibular hypofunction (p = 0.028, p = 0.046, and p = 0.038, respectively). After stepwise selection, the number of catch-up saccades and retinal error at 200 ms remained in the final logistic regression model, which was significantly better than a null model (p = 0.014). Age, gender, saccade amplitude, saccade latency, and VOR gain were not predictive of the presence of symptoms. Conclusion: The accuracy of saccadic compensation seems to be crucial for the presence of symptoms in unilateral vestibular hypofunction, highlighting the role of specific gaze stabilization exercises in rehabilitation. Early saccades, mainly triggered by the vestibular system, do not seem to compensate accurately enough, resulting in a relevant retinal error and the need for more as well as more accurate catch-up saccades, probably triggered by the visual system.}, language = {en} } @misc{MuellerCzymaiBlaettelMinketal., author = {M{\"u}ller, Laura and Czymai, Max and Bl{\"a}ttel-Mink, Birgit and D{\"o}ll, Petra}, title = {How to assess conditions for the acceptance of climate change adaptation measures by applying implementation probability Bayesian Networks in participatory processes}, series = {Environmental Modelling \& Software}, volume = {181}, journal = {Environmental Modelling \& Software}, publisher = {Elsevier BV}, issn = {1364-8152}, doi = {10.1016/j.envsoft.2024.106188}, abstract = {Climate change adaptation measures are best identified participatorily, yet their implementation poses challenges. While Bayesian Network (BN) modeling has been widely used to assess how adaptation measures mitigate risks, we present how to develop, in a participatory process, an innovative BN type that quantifies the implementation probability of adaptation measures by considering conditions for actors' acceptance as well as cultural worldviews. The BN structure was derived from participatorily identified causal networks, while the conditional probability tables were straightforwardly developed with stakeholder-assigned weights. Sensitivity analysis shows how BN structure and parameters influence the BN results. We found that our approach achieves knowledge integration and learning without overwhelming stakeholders with technical details. As BNs enable exploring scenarios, stakeholders learn that many plausible futures exist. Integrating our approach in participatory adaptation processes contributes to identifying the best combinations of implementation actions, reducing the "know-do gap" in local adaptation challenges.}, language = {en} } @misc{MuellerCzymaiDoelletal., author = {M{\"u}ller, Laura and Czymai, Max and D{\"o}ll, Petra and Bl{\"a}ttel-Mink, Birgit}, title = {Interdisciplinary collaboration in transdisciplinary projects : effects on, and challenges for, early-career researchers and the project design}, series = {Gaia : ecological perspectives for science and society}, volume = {34}, journal = {Gaia : ecological perspectives for science and society}, number = {4}, publisher = {Oekom Publishers GmbH}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, issn = {0940-5550}, doi = {10.14512/gaia.34.4.5}, pages = {274 -- 281}, abstract = {Transdisciplinarity aims to provide solutions for societal problems that require interdisciplinarity, which has received little attention until now.

Based on their experiences in a transdisciplinary project, they discuss how interdisciplinary negotiation and method development affect the careers of early-career researchers. Challenges for researchers arose due to disciplinary qualification regulations influencing research modes, and due to the different paradigms of natural and social scientists. To satisfy the paradigms and meet the needs of stakeholders simultaneously, methods were developed and applied that effectively support knowledge integration. Boundary concepts and objects facilitated the inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration. Overall, reflexive interdisciplinary collaboration in transdisciplinary processes offers opportunities for personal development and career advancement, and improves the design of transdisciplinary processes.}, language = {en} }
