Although farmers introduced food crops into agricultural production to ensure food security after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the government still mandates that cotton cultivation occupy a considerable portion of Tajikistan's limited irrigated land. However, following the recent Covid-19 pandemic crisis, farmers have encountered the need to reassess their agricultural practices, given constrained governmental assistance and a range of socioeconomic considerations. This research adopts resilience as a conceptual framework to examine the coping strategies of smallholder farmers in the Khatlon region of Tajikistan, with a specific emphasis on the period spanning from 2019 to 2022. At the outset, our research employed the snowballing technique to increase respondent participation, later transitioning to a representative sample size that facilitated the collection of qualitative data from around 100 semi-structured interviews, 10 focus groups, and personal visits to agricultural fields over the course of four years. The paper not only demonstrates the overall creativity of Tajikistani farmers in growing and selecting non-cotton crops in this most recent period of crisis, but also points to wealthier farmers' generally greater willingness to adopt technological innovations and gain new knowledge to apply to them. Although these strategies have been taken in order to address farmers' immediate needs in troubled times against the backdrop of the existing state cotton policy, their sustainability remains uncertain. While the qualitative focus of this study bears certain inherent limitations, the data collected nevertheless show that this period of crisis has been generative for many farmers as they seek out new methods of subsistence.}, language = {en} } @article{LauterbachBrunsHaering2023, author = {Lauterbach, Josephine and Bruns, Antonia Johanna and H{\"a}ring, Anna Maria}, title = {Exploring Consumer Preference towards the On-Farm Slaughtering of Beef in Germany: A Discrete Choice Experiment}, series = {Foods}, journal = {Foods}, number = {12}, publisher = {MDPI}, issn = {2304-8158}, doi = {10.3390/foods12183473}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-7753}, pages = {15}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Current production standards and communication campaigns about animal welfare in relation to beef strongly emphasise the "humane" rearing of cattle. Aspects such as transport and slaughtering conditions are often overlooked in both production standards and communications with consumers. Long transport routes and conventional slaughtering can cause significant stress to animals and have negative impacts on their welfare and on meat quality. On-farm slaughter can address these criticisms. Communicating the value of low-stress slaughtering conditions like on-farm slaughtering may offer significant sales potential for a premium market segment. In this study, we explore consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for beef that is slaughtered on-farm rather than in conventional abattoirs. We conducted an online survey (n = 400) in 2022, with a sample that is representative of the German population with respect to gender, age, income and education. Our survey included a discrete choice experiment for the purchase of minced beef, incorporating product attributes that influence purchase decisions. These included: price, information on the social, economic and environmental benefits of regional production, different production standards (conventional/organic) and information on on-farm slaughtering. Our findings indicate that consumers derive the highest utility from a low price, followed by information about on-farm slaughtering. Participants indicated a preference for information on high animal welfare over high beef quality. We conclude that highlighting on-farm slaughtering could be a significant benefit in marketing premium beef products.}, language = {en} } @article{MahmoodArshadMehmoodetal.2021, author = {Mahmood, Nasir and Arshad, Muhammad and Mehmood, Yasir and Faisal Shahzad, Muhammad and K{\"a}chele, Harald}, title = {Farmers' perceptions and role of institutional arrangements in climate change adaptation: Insights from rainfed Pakistan}, series = {Climate Risk Management}, volume = {32}, journal = {Climate Risk Management}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {2212-0963}, doi = {10.1016/j.crm.2021.100288}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-7375}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Rainfed farmers are among the most vulnerable farming communities to climate change in Pakistan because of the heavy reliance of crop farming on rain and of farmers' livelihoods on crop farming. The best and most timely responses against climate change are suitable adaptation measures. Accurately perceiving the risks associated with climate change is an essential factor for planning and then implementing adaptations. Using farm household-level data of 400 rainfed farmers collected through a well-designed and field-tested questionnaire, this study examines the association between various adaptation stages (climate risk perceptions, adaptation planning, and implementation of adaptation) and their determinants using a multivariate probit (MVP) model. The findings indicate that farmers' perceptions of climatic changes are in line with historical climatic data. Climate risk management (CRM) trainings and digital agriculture extension and communication (DAEC) services (indicators of formal institutional arrangements) show a highly significant impact on all adaptation stages. Input market distance, farmer cooperative meetings (an indicator of informal institutional arrangement), off-farm income, education, and number of male family members are among the other key determinants. A highly significant association between various adaptation stages indicates that accurate climate risk perceptions lead to planning and implementation of adaptations. When risk perceptions are underestimated or lacking, then adaptations do not occur. The results further indicate that the timely availability of reliable information on advanced agricultural inputs, weather parameters, crop farming advisory services, and market information could help rainfed farmers devise sound adaptations to minimize risks associated with climate change. The study recommends the provision of CRM trainings and DAEC services to provide a better understanding and promote sound adaptation planning through the adaptive capacity enhancement of rainfed farming communities for sustainable production and livelihood security.}, language = {en} } @misc{MackSchickGeyeretal.2021, author = {Mack, Kevin and Schick, Axel and Geyer, Juliane and Kruhlov, Ivan and Dichte, Angela and Ibisch, Pierre L.}, title = {Ecosystem-based Adaptation in Ukraine based on three UNESCO Biosphere Reserves : Toolbox}, doi = {10.13140/RG.2.2.30597.01768}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-7205}, pages = {97}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{KereselidzePilarskaGuntadzeetal.2022, author = {Kereselidze, Manana and Pilarska, Daniela and Guntadze, Nika and Linde, Andreas}, title = {Halyomorpha halys St{\aa}l, (Hemiptera:Pentatomidae) feeding effects on some agriculturalfruits in Georgia}, series = {Turkish Journal of Zoology}, volume = {46}, journal = {Turkish Journal of Zoology}, number = {3}, publisher = {T{\"u}bitak}, issn = {1300-0179}, doi = {10.55730/1300-0179.3058}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-7441}, pages = {298 -- 303}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Feeding effects of the invasive, polyphagous brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera:Pentatomidae), on some agricultural fruits (hazelnut, blueberry, mandarin, lemon) were investigated in Guria and Samegrelo regions of Georgia in 2019 and 2020. The damage to hazelnut kernels was evaluated when H. halys adults were allowed to feed on kernels in different stages of development. Furthermore, BMSB adults were allowed to feed on almost ripened fruits of blueberry, on small mandarin fruits which were not yet well developed, and on ripened fruits of mandarin. The evaluation of damage on lemon was recorded after allowing adult BMSB on small, not yet developed fruits and on almost developed fruits. It was shown that hazelnuts are susceptible to damage caused by feeding of BMSB throughout the entire period of kernel development (100\% of kernels were damaged and did not develop at all). Furthermore, BMSB damages blueberry severely (100\% damage) when the fruits are almost ripened. Damage to mandarin fruits in early development stages was over 90\%, and 100\% of ripened mandarin fruits dropped to the ground.

But in addition to this, grazing livestock fulfils other fundamentally important roles, one of which is the maintenance of open landscapes, which in turn provides habitat for many rare plant and animal species. Whether wild large herbivores, such as red deer (Cervus elaphus), benefit from the management of the open landscapes is unknown, and there are conflicting views on the nature of the interaction between livestock and wildlife. To investigate this question, we studied interactions in space and time between red deer and livestock in an 787 ha fenced pasture in eastern Germany. First, we used faecal pellet counts to determine whether red deer were using the fenced pasture and whether livestock were using the entire available pasture. Second, we fitted ten red deer, as well as eight Konik horses (Equus ferus caballus) and eight Heck cattle (Bos taurus) with GPS-collars. These data allowed us to perform analyses of space-time interactions. The faecal pellet data showed that red deer did indeed use the fenced pasture and that livestock used the entire extent of the pasture. Further, we verified a neutral space-time interaction between red deer and livestock within the pasture. Thus, there was no indication of a negative effect of the presence of livestock on red deer inside the pasture. For these reasons, we recommend that low-intensity grazing by cattle and horses can maintain open landscapes without detrimental effects on the use of the area by red deer.}, language = {en} } @article{FieldsendVargaBiroetal.2022, author = {Fieldsend, Andrew and Varga, Eszter and Bir{\´o}, Szabolcs and von M{\"u}nchhausen, Susanne and H{\"a}ring, Anna Maria}, title = {Multi-actor co-innovation partnerships in agriculture, forestry and related sectors in Europe: Contrasting approaches to implementation}, series = {Agricultural Systems}, volume = {202}, journal = {Agricultural Systems}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {1873-2267}, doi = {10.1016/j.agsy.2022.103472}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-6475}, pages = {14}, year = {2022}, abstract = {CONTEXT Innovation is an important driver of increased productivity, sustainability and resilience in agriculture, forestry and related sectors. An analysis of how different types of multi-actor co-innovation partnerships function can help to identify the reasons why some are more successful than others in 'speeding up' innovation. OBJECTIVE To provide a framework for the analysis of the co-innovation process, we developed a multidimensional conceptual typology of co-innovation activities based on a review of 200 such partnerships involving farmers and foresters from across Europe. This framework is based on innovation systems theory and the prevailing policy context of the 'multi-actor approach'. METHODS The overarching concept or dependent variable measured by the typology is 'effectiveness of co-innovation by a multi-actor partnership' and the two dimensions of the overarching concept are the 'structural components of the Organisational Innovation System', with four categories, and 'attitude towards interaction', with two categories. The result is a matrix of eight 'ideal types' of co-innovation activity. These eight types are characterised according to first-order constructs derived from our research data. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The results show that the co-innovation process can successfully take contrasting forms according to the 'contextual contingencies' encountered by the partnership. In other words, no one ideal type is intrinsically 'superior' to another but may be more 'appropriate' in given circumstances. Factors influencing approaches to implementation include actor capacities, aspirations and networks, the co-innovation topic and its influence on the partnership size and the workplan structure, the type of co-innovation activity outputs and the need to engage with the 'larger periphery' of stakeholders, and the nature of the enabling environment. SIGNIFICANCE The typology is not a classification since the ideal types represent organisational forms that might exist rather than real partnerships. However, the analytical framework it provides will help policy makers and programme managers to develop targeted interventions, according to actor needs and local circumstances, for 'speeding up' innovation.}, language = {en} } @article{BarthJimenezAceitunoPMLametal.2023, author = {Barth, Matthias and Jim{\´e}nez-Aceituno, Amanda and PM Lam, David and B{\"u}rgener, Lina and J Lang, Daniel}, title = {Transdisciplinary learning as a key leverage for sustainability transformations}, series = {Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability}, volume = {64}, journal = {Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {1877-3435}, doi = {10.1016/j.cosust.2023.101361}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-6483}, pages = {8}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Learning and transdisciplinary research are widely acknowledged as key components for achieving sustainability; however, the links between these concepts remain vague in the sustainability literature.

This article introduces a conceptual framework built upon these two dimensions to understand three specific forms of transdisciplinary learning as a) individual competence development, b) experience-based collaboration, and c) societal interaction.

An increasing number of studies is investigating insect population trends based on time series data. However, the available data is often subject to temporal pseudoreplication. Inter-annual variability of environmental conditions and strong fluctuations in insect abundances can impede reliable trend estimation. Temporal random effect structures in regression models have been proposed as solution for this issue, but remain controversial. 2. We investigated trends in ground beetle abundance across 24 years using generalised linear mixed models. We fitted four models: A base model, a model featuring a random year intercept, a model featuring basic weather parameters, and a model featuring both random year intercept and weather parameters. We then performed a simple sensitivity analysis to assess the robustness of the four models with respect to influential years, also testing for possible spurious baseline and snapshot effects. 3. The model structure had a significant impact on the overall magnitude of the estimated trends. However, we found almost no difference among the models in how the removal of single years (sensitivity analysis) relatively affected trend coefficients. The two models with a random year intercept yielded significantly larger confidence intervals and their p-values were more sensitive during sensitivity analysis. Significant differences of the model with random year intercept and weather parameters to all other models suggest that the random year effects and specific weather effects are rather additive than interchangeable. 4. We conclude that random year intercepts help to produce more reliable and cautious uncertainty measures for insect population trends. Moreover, they might help to identify influential years in sensitivity analyses more easily. We recommend random year intercepts in addition to any variables representing temporally variable environmental conditions, such as weather variables.}, language = {en} } @article{GoesslingBalasMayeretal.2023, author = {G{\"o}ssling, Stefan and Balas, Martin and Mayer, Marius and Sun, Ya-Yen}, title = {A review of tourism and climate change mitigation: The scales, scopes, stakeholders and strategies of carbon management}, series = {Tourism Management}, volume = {95}, journal = {Tourism Management}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {1879-3193}, doi = {10.1016/j.tourman.2022.104681}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-6510}, pages = {18}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Tourism needs to reduce emissions in line with other economic sectors, if the international community's objective of staying global warming at 1.5°-2.0 °C is to be achieved.

Zun{\"a}chst wurde das sogenannte Tourismus Sustainability Satellite Account (TSSA), ein Bilanzierungssystem zur Messung der Nachhaltigkeit des Deutschlandtourismus, das in der vorangegangenen Projektphase erstmalig entwickelt und angewendet wurde, nun mit den aktuell verf{\"u}gbaren Daten erneut bef{\"u}llt. Beim TSSA handelt es sich um ein erweitertes Tourismus-Satellitenkonto (TSA) bzw. ein Kennzahlensystem, welches im Wesentlichen auf den statistischen Rahmenwerken der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnungen (VGR) und Umwelt{\"o}konomischen Gesamtrechnungen (UGR) beruht. Hinzu kommen soziale Indikatoren, die die Nachhaltigkeit der Arbeitsverh{\"a}ltnisse im Tourismus messen. Das TSSA erlaubt somit eine systematische Zuordnung der {\"o}konomischen, {\"o}kologischen und sozialen Auswirkungen des Tourismus zu den tourismusrelevanten Wirtschaftszweigen auf nationaler Ebene. Im Ergebnis der TSSA-Aktualisierung zeigt sich, dass der Tourismus in Deutschland weiterhin signifikant zur Wertsch{\"o}pfung und zur Schaffung von Arbeitspl{\"a}tzen beitr{\"a}gt. Rund 3,6 \% bzw. 6,1 \% der Gesamtbruttowertsch{\"o}pfung und -besch{\"a}ftigung standen im Jahr 2019 im Zusammenhang mit dem Tourismus. Die Arbeitsproduktivit{\"a}t im Tourismussektor ist allerdings weiterhin relativ gering. Bei den {\"o}kologischen Auswirkungen zeigt sich ein im Vergleich zur letzten Messung (mit Daten von 2015 oder 2016) leicht gestiegener Energieverbrauch bei allerdings zur{\"u}ckgehender Energieintensit{\"a}t. Diese ist im Tourismus {\"a}hnlich hoch wie im Durchschnitt der deutschen Volkswirtschaft. Bei den tourismusinduzierten Emissionen von Treibhausgasen (THG) und besonders bei der Emissionsintensit{\"a}t sind ebenfalls Verbesserungen zu beobachten, doch liegt die Emissionsintensit{\"a}t der Tourismuswirtschaft immer noch deutlich {\"u}ber dem volkswirtschaftlichen Durchschnitt. Innerhalb der deutschen Tourismuswirtschaft tr{\"a}gt weiterhin der Verkehrssektor (insb. Flug- und Schiffsverkehr) am st{\"a}rksten zum Energieverbrauch und zu den THG-Emissionen bei. Dagegen ist der tourismusinduzierte Wasserverbrauch deutschlandweit als eher unproblematisch einzusch{\"a}tzen. Die Wasserintensit{\"a}t des Tourismus liegt deutlich unter dem Durchschnitt der deutschen Volkswirtschaft. Innerhalb des Tourismus ist sie am h{\"o}chsten in den Sektoren Beherbergung und Gastronomie. Bez{\"u}glich der sozialen Nachhaltigkeitsdimension ist der relativ geringe und im Zeitverlauf abnehmende Verdienstabstand zwischen M{\"a}nnern und Frauen (bekannt als Gender Pay Gap; hier unbereinigt) in der Tourismuswirtschaft hervorzuheben. Alle anderen Kennzahlen in Bezug auf die Arbeitsbedingungen im Tourismus fallen dagegen weiterhin eher negativ aus. Dementsprechend werden diese von den Besch{\"a}ftigten der Branche im Vergleich zum Durchschnitt der deutschen Gesamtwirtschaft als schlechter eingesch{\"a}tzt. Bereits w{\"a}hrend der vorangegangenen Projektphase zeigte sich, dass f{\"u}r einige Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren, vor allem aus dem {\"o}kologischen Bereich, eine Ber{\"u}cksichtigung im Rahmen des TSSA-Ansatzes nicht uneingeschr{\"a}nkt m{\"o}glich ist. Dies liegt unter anderem an der unzureichenden Datenlage in der amtlichen Statistik sowie der Komplexit{\"a}t, bestimmte {\"o}kologische Effekte kausal dem Tourismus zuzuordnen. Daher wurde im zweiten Teil des hier vorgelegten Projekts f{\"u}r die Umweltindikatoren „Biodiversit{\"a}t", „Wasserqualit{\"a}t", „L{\"a}rmbelastung", „Fl{\"a}cheninanspruchnahme", „Luftemissionen" und „Abfallaufkommen" sowie f{\"u}r den sozialen Indikator „Tourismusakzeptanz" eine ausf{\"u}hrliche Recherche bestehender Datengrundlagen durchgef{\"u}hrt und darauf aufbauend evaluiert, inwieweit alternative Bilanzierungsans{\"a}tze - als Erg{\"a}nzung zum TSSA-Messsystem - den Tourismuseffekt abbilden k{\"o}nnen. Im Rahmen des Datenscreenings best{\"a}tigte sich zun{\"a}chst die mangelhafte Datenlage auf Bundesebene. Die Machbarkeitsanalyse kam nachfolgend zu dem Ergebnis, dass eine r{\"a}umliche Differenzierung nach dem Grad touristischer Relevanz, gemessen an Tourismusdichte und -intensit{\"a}t, und eine daran ankn{\"u}pfende Analyse der Ver{\"a}nderung von Umweltbedingungen in stark touristisch gepr{\"a}gten Regionen mit Vergleich zum gesamtdeutschen Durchschnitt eine M{\"o}glichkeit darstellt, um den Beitrag des Tourismus beispielsweise zur Fl{\"a}chenversiegelung zu quantifizieren.

Although various research approaches have tackled technological innovations in the last few decades, the specificities and enabling conditions of individual sustainability innovations remain rather unknown. We therefore propose an analytical framework, built on learning from the social-ecological systems and transitions literature. The sustainability innovation framework features four dimensions: context, actors, process and outcomes, which are detailed in 31 variables. We use the sustainability innovation framework to analyze two case studies selected in the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve, Germany. The first refers to technological and organizational innovation in mobility, while the second relates to social and organizational innovation in agriculture. As a result, we highlight commonalities and differences in enabling conditions and variables between the two cases, which underpin the influence of trust, commitment, resource availability, experimenting, learning, advocating, and cooperating for innovation development. The cases further demonstrate that sustainability innovations develop as bundles of interdependent, entangled novelties, due to their disruptive character. Their specificity thereby resides in positive outcomes in terms of social-ecological integrity and equity. This study therefore contributes to transitions studies via a detailed characterization of sustainability innovations and of their outcomes, as well as through a generic synthesis of variables into an analytical framework that is applicable to a large and diverse range of individual sustainability innovations. Further empirical studies should test these findings in other contexts, to pinpoint generic innovation development patterns and to develop a typology of sustainability innovation archetypes.}, language = {en} } @article{Molitor2022, author = {Molitor, Heike}, title = {Wenn Stadtkinder Zeit haben: Naturerfahrungen im freien Spiel}, series = {Zeitpolitisches Magazin}, volume = {19}, journal = {Zeitpolitisches Magazin}, number = {40}, publisher = {Deutsche Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Zeitpolitik Gemeinn{\"u}tziger e.V.}, issn = {2196-0356}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-6633}, pages = {29 -- 31}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @article{MadakiLehbergerBavorovaetal.2023, author = {Madaki, Mustapha Yakubu and Lehberger, Mira and Bavorova, Miroslava and Igbasan, Boluwatife Teniola and K{\"a}chele, Harald}, title = {Effectiveness of pesticide stakeholders' information on pesticide handling knowledge and behaviour of smallholder farmers in Ogun State, Nigeria}, series = {Environment, Development and Sustainability}, journal = {Environment, Development and Sustainability}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, doi = {10.1007/s10668-023-03332-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-8213}, pages = {20}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Although pesticides ensure the quality and quantity of agricultural produce, they have adverse effects on farmers, their families, and consumers.

The objective of this study was to determine the pesticide handling behaviour and the effectiveness of pesticide information on pesticide handling knowledge and personal protective equipment (PPE) use among farmers in southwest Nigeria. One hundred and fifty-six farmers were interviewed using a structured questionnaire in December 2019 and January 2020. The results revealed that a one-third of the farmers dispose their pesticide residues on the field, only 3\% of the farmers dispose the hazardous pesticide waste at a collection point, and 65\% of them dispose the empty containers indiscriminately. The majority of farmers never use respirators (79\%), hats (60\%), and boots (57\%) when applying pesticides. Knowledge of pesticide application and waste management is low (58\% of respondents scored less than 10 on a knowledge scale of 0-14). The result of the regression model shows that information from pesticide labels and farmer-to-farmer exchanges significantly increase farmers' knowledge of pesticide handling and PPE use. Our results suggest that the effectiveness of current information provision to smallholder farmers on the correct use of pesticides is not sufficient.

To fill this gap, this study aimed to identify the effect of agro-ecological zones and social groups on smallholder farmers' adaptation to climate change using the multivariate probit model. Multistage sampling was used to collect data from 400 households in three agro-ecological zones of Nepal. These zones were highland (mountainous region), midland (hilly region) and lowland (terai/plain region). The results of our study showed that farmers in the Mountain region are more likely to adopt off-farm activities and temporary migration as a CCA strategy than those in the Terai/plain agro-ecological zone. In the Terai/Plain, farmers mainly adopt small-scale irrigation and agroforestry. In terms of social groups, the Brahmin group was more likely to adopt new crop varieties and small-scale irrigation than the Sudra group. The Sudra farmers preferred temporary migration and off-farm activities more than the Brahmins. Our study shows that policies to promote the adoption of CCA strategies need to take into account location and social group differences in order to improve the adaptive capacity of the most vulnerable farmers.

For farmers, higher SOC levels have multiple benefits, including increased soil fertility and resilience against drought-related yield losses. However, increasing SOC levels requires agricultural management changes that are associated with costs. Private soil carbon certificates could compensate for these costs. In these schemes, farmers register their fields with commercial certificate providers who certify SOC increases. Certificates are then sold as voluntary emission offsets on the carbon market. In this paper, we assess the suitability of these certificates as an instrument for climate change mitigation. From a soils' perspective, we address processes of SOC enrichment, their potentials and limits, and options for cost-effective measurement and monitoring. From a farmers' perspective, we assess management options likely to increase SOC, and discuss their synergies and trade-offs with economic, environmental and social targets. From a governance perspective, we address requirements to guarantee additionality and permanence while preventing leakage effects. Furthermore, we address questions of legitimacy and accountability. While increasing SOC is a cornerstone for more sustainable cropping systems, private carbon certificates fall short of expectations for climate change mitigation as permanence of SOC sequestration cannot be guaranteed. Governance challenges include lack of long-term monitoring, problems to ensure additionality, problems to safeguard against leakage effects, and lack of long-term accountability if stored SOC is re-emitted. We conclude that soil-based private carbon certificates are unlikely to deliver the emission offset attributed to them and that their benefit for climate change mitigation is uncertain. Additional research is needed to develop standards for SOC change metrics and monitoring, and to better understand the impact of short term, non-permanent carbon removals on peaks in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and on the probability of exceeding climatic tipping points.}, language = {en} } @article{DonmezSchmidtCileketal.2023, author = {Donmez, Cenk and Schmidt, Marcus and Cilek, Ahmet and Grosse, Meike and Paul, Carsten and Hierold, Wilfried and Helming, Katharina}, title = {Climate change impacts on long-term field experiments in Germany}, series = {Agricultural Systems}, journal = {Agricultural Systems}, number = {205}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.agsy.2022.103578}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-8150}, pages = {17}, year = {2023}, abstract = {CONTEXT Long-Term Field Experiments (LTEs) were implemented to study the long-term effects of different management practices, including tillage, fertilization and crop rotation under otherwise constant conditions. Climate change is expected to change these conditions, challenging interpretation of LTE data with regard to the distinction between climate change and management effects. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to quantify the expected, spatially differentiated changes of agroclimatic conditions for the German LTE sites as a precondition for modelling and LTE data interpretation. METHODS We developed a framework combining spatially distributed climate data and LTE metadata to identify the possible climatic changes at 247 LTE sites with experiments running for 20 years or more. The LTEs were classified using the following categories: fertilization, tillage, crop rotation, field crops or grassland, conventional or organic. We utilized climate variables (temperature, precipitation) and agroclimatic indicators (aridity, growing degree days, etc.) to compare a baseline (1971-2000) with future periods (2021-2100) under the IPCC's Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSP). A comprehensive LTE risk assessment was conducted, based on changes in climate variables and agroclimatic indicators between baseline and future scenarios. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Under the most extreme scenario (SSP585), 150 LTEs are expected to shift from humid and dry sub-humid to semi-arid conditions. Frost days in LTE areas are expected to decline by 81\%, and the growing season to lengthen by up to 92\%. The spatial differentiation of expected climate change also facilitates the identification of suitable sites for future agricultural practices and may inform the design of new LTEs. SIGNIFICANCE Our results may guide the interpretation of LTE data regarding the effect of climate change, facilitating future soil crop modelling studies with LTE data and providing information for planning new LTE sites to support future agricultural research and/or adapting management on existing LTE sites. The framework we developed can easily be transferred to LTE sites in agricultural regions worldwide to support LTE research on climate change impacts and adaptation.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Hoerning2023, author = {H{\"o}rning, Bernhard}, title = {Zur Umsetzung des K{\"u}kent{\"o}tungsverbots in Deutschland}, series = {Berichte {\"u}ber Landwirtschaft - Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Agrarpolitik und Landwirtschaft}, volume = {101}, journal = {Berichte {\"u}ber Landwirtschaft - Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Agrarpolitik und Landwirtschaft}, number = {3}, editor = {Bundesministerium f{\"u}r Ern{\"a}hrung und Landwirtschaft (BMEL),}, issn = {2196-5099}, doi = {10.12767/buel.v101i3.495}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-8178}, pages = {61}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Seit Anfang 2022 ist das T{\"o}ten der m{\"a}nnlichen Eintagsk{\"u}ken der Legelinien in Deutschland verboten.

Die Zahl der geschl{\"u}pften Legek{\"u}ken nahm stark ab (2020 40,5 Mio., 2022 16,2 Mio., 1. Halbjahr 2023 9,9 Mio.).

Dennoch ist der Konsum von Eiern nur leicht zur{\"u}ckgegangen (von 233 in 2021 auf 230 in 2022). Beim Kauf von Schaleneiern gab es in 2022 eine leichte Verschiebung zu kosteng{\"u}nstigeren Eiern (Bio-Eier - 1,2 \%), sowie zu K{\"a}ufen im Discounter (+ 2 \%). Verbraucherstudien haben gezeigt, dass mittlerweile die meisten Konsumenten die Problematik des K{\"u}kent{\"o}tens kennen und dieses auch ablehnen. Die Alternativen dazu sind jedoch weniger bekannt. Dies trifft am meisten auf Zweinutzungsh{\"u}hner zu. Bei der Geschlechtsbestimmung im Ei hat eine starke Weiterentwicklung stattgefunden. Mittlerweile sind Anlagen mit f{\"u}nf verschiedenen Verfahren in Br{\"u}tereien im Einsatz (seit 2022 auch in Deutschland).

Die derzeit in den Br{\"u}tereien genutzten Verfahren k{\"o}nnen nach der Gesetzes{\"a}nderung (Bestimmung bis max. 12. Bruttag) k{\"u}nftig weiter angewendet werden.

Die Anzahl Br{\"u}tereien mit Sortierung von Bruderh{\"a}hnen hat deutlich zugenommen (2021 4, 2022 13). 2022 wurden 10,59 Millionen m{\"a}nnliche K{\"u}ken zur Aufzucht aussortiert. Dies macht einen Anteil von 65,3 Prozent der 16,20 Millionen geschl{\"u}pften Legek{\"u}ken aus ({\"U}brige Geschlechtsbestimmung). Mit den von der Branche angegebenen 5 - 8 Millionen Pl{\"a}tzen ließen sich 20 - 23 Millionen Bruderh{\"a}hne im Jahr aufziehen.

This study focuses on the political debate in Germany regarding forest fires and provides insights into the conceptualization of forest fires and forest fire management at the federal and state policymaking levels. By examining forest fire narratives through the policy lens, this case study takes an exemplary extreme weather event exacerbated by climate change as an opportunity to examine the policy response to this problem. In this way, we examine the role of policy narratives in civil and environmental protection and disaster management. The findings reveal that all politicians examined in this study agree that forest fire management is an urgent matter that needs to be supported. In the prevailing human-centered narrative, policymakers see active forest management and use as tools to improve forest resilience to fire and other calamities. Those who advocate a nature-based narrative assert that it is natural processes in protected forest areas that most effectively enhance resilience. The policy solutions derived from these views include financial support, recognition of the work of foresters, forest fire managers, and civil protection agencies as well as, depending on the type of narrative argument favored, either increased forest management or improved protection of forest ecologies. This suggests that narrative analysis may illuminate the rationales underlying previous policy decisions and the framework for future ones. This contribution throws light on how narratives shape policymaking and, by extension, disaster management. Future studies should therefore take into account the influence of prevailing narratives when it comes to evaluating the potential that policymaking can offer for disaster management in the future.}, language = {en} } @article{MouratiadouLemkeChenetal.2023, author = {Mouratiadou, Ioanna and Lemke, Nahleen and Chen, Cheng and Wartenberg, Ariani and Bloch, Ralf and Donat, Marco and Gaiser, Thomas and Hanike Basavegowda, Deepak and Helming, Katharina and Ali Hosseini Yekani, Seyed and Krull, Marcos and Lingemann, Kai and Macpherson, Joseph and Melzer, Marvin and Nendel, Claas and Piorr, Annette and Shaaban, Mostafa and Zander, Peter and Weltzien, Cornelia and Bellingrath-Kimura, Sonoko Dorothea}, title = {The Digital Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (DAKIS): Employing digitalisation to encourage diversified and multifunctional agricultural systems}, series = {Environmental Science and Ecotechnology}, volume = {16}, journal = {Environmental Science and Ecotechnology}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {2666-4984}, doi = {10.1016/j.ese.2023.100274}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-8012}, pages = {13}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Multifunctional and diversified agriculture can address diverging pressures and demands by simultaneously enhancing productivity, biodiversity, and the provision of ecosystem services.

We present the Digital Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (DAKIS) to demonstrate an approach that employs digital technologies to enable decision-making towards diversified and sustainable agriculture. To develop the DAKIS, we specified, together with stakeholders, requirements for a knowledge-based decision-support tool and reviewed the literature to identify limitations in the current generation of tools. The results of the review point towards recurring challenges regarding the consideration of ecosystem services and biodiversity, the capacity to foster communication and cooperation between farmers and other actors, and the ability to link multiple spatiotemporal scales and sustainability levels. To overcome these challenges, the DAKIS provides a digital platform to support farmers' decision-making on land use and management via an integrative spatiotemporally explicit approach that analyses a wide range of data from various sources. The approach integrates remote and in situ sensors, artificial intelligence, modelling, stakeholder-stated demand for biodiversity and ecosystem services, and participatory sustainability impact assessment to address the diverse drivers affecting agricultural land use and management design, including natural and agronomic factors, economic and policy considerations, and socio-cultural preferences and settings. Ultimately, the DAKIS embeds the consideration of ecosystem services, biodiversity, and sustainability into farmers' decision-making and enables learning and progress towards site-adapted small-scale multifunctional and diversified agriculture while simultaneously supporting farmers' objectives and societal demands.}, language = {en} } @article{ArrekhiNiknahadGharmakherBachingeretal.2022, author = {Arrekhi, Armin and Niknahad Gharmakher, Hamid and Bachinger, Johann and Bloch, Ralf}, title = {Investigation of Feasibility and Effect of Alternative Farming System on the Grain Yield of Barley and Forage Production in Western Semi-arid Region of Golestan Province, Iran}, series = {Journal of Rangeland Science}, volume = {13}, journal = {Journal of Rangeland Science}, number = {2}, publisher = {IA University, Borujerd Branch}, issn = {2008-9996}, doi = {10.30495/rs.2023.688855}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-8022}, pages = {155 -- 167}, year = {2022}, abstract = {One of the major challenges in semi-arid regions of Iran is to supply the adequate forage for livestock and meanwhile prevent the destruction of rangelands due to overgrazing. Therefore, this study aimed to compare three cropping systems of barley using Salsola turcomanica (ST), and Chrysopogon zizanioides (CZ) in three treatments of barley+ST, barley+ST+CZ and mono-culture of barley. Two-year field trials data were collected from November 2018 to October 2020 in two experimental sites using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The results of analysis of variance over two years indicated that the effects of year, location, and year by location interaction were significant (p<0.01) for all of barley's yield components. Mixed cropping of barley with other species had no negative effect on barley traits such as grain yield, straw yield and harvest index. In addition, the mixed cropping of barley+ST and barley+ST+CZ in the first year produced 2.5 t/ha more forage yield than that mono-culture of barley. This was due to high production of Salsola (ST), in mixed cropping. In both years, yield of Salsola production was about 25\% of whole produced biomass. Drastic reduction in rainfall in the second year reduced the obtained yield; so, there was no significant difference among three cropping systems in the second year. However, cropping systems of barley+ST and barley+ST+CZ produced about 1 t/ha more forage than that for the mono-culture of barley. Mixed cropping of barley +ST+CZ did not affect yield components of barley. Mixed cropping of barley with Salsola turcomanica could guarantee soil cover throughout the year and is recommended for forage production in rangeland in Iran.}, language = {en} } @article{GreischelNagyConradetal.2023, author = {Greischel, Eva and Nagy, Emilia and Conrad, Alexander and Sch{\"a}fer, Martina}, title = {Social logistics: Rethinking public transport as a regional distributor of goods in rural areas.

As part of a real-life laboratory, two services were developed and tested with the aim of improving rural supply: the delivery of regional goods and the return of online orders in cooperation with a regional public transport provider, regional retailers and parcel services. An evaluation team provided support to the project in identifying, monitoring, and documenting the societal impact of the services and promoted impact-oriented project management. The concept of providing services of general interest through social logistics and testing them in a real-world laboratory was based on preliminary work in the region. The results indicate that this approach can promote this type of social logistics in the long term. A social logistics approach does not focus solely on economic aspects but emphasises social and environmental benefits for the region. A real-world laboratory approach enables an environment that promotes open exchange, involvement of different stakeholders and joint problem solving in a reflective, iterative process. This methodological approach enabled the continuation and out-scaling of the service's core offerings immediately after ending the test phase and is seen as an important prerequisite for establishing a long-term perspective.}, language = {en} } @article{PurfuerstdeMiguelDiezBerendtetal.2023, author = {Purf{\"u}rst, Thomas and de Miguel-D{\´i}ez, Felipe and Berendt, Ferr{\´e}ol and Engler, Benjamin and Cremer, Tobias}, title = {Comparison of wood stack volume determination between manual, photo-optical, iPad-LiDAR and handheld-LiDAR based measurement methods}, series = {iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry}, volume = {16}, journal = {iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry}, number = {4}, publisher = {Italian Society of Silviculture and Forest Ecology}, issn = {1971-7458}, doi = {10.3832/ifor4153-016}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-8062}, pages = {243 -- 252}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The measurement of roadside wood stacks in the forest still plays an important role in many forestry operations. Traditional manual measuring methods can be laborious, inaccurate and error-prone. Therefore, the issue is whether 2.5D or 3D optical remote sensing measuring methods provide more precise or detailed results and advantages in further data processing. This study examined and partly developed nine different manual, photo-optical, iPad®-LiDAR and handheld laser scanner-LiDAR-based wood stack measurement methods. Forty-seven wood stacks, ranging from 8.9 to 209.3 m3 (totalling approximately 2700 m3), were measured and compared using these nine methods. All the methods give volume estimations, and none can be seen to give the real or true wood stack gross volume. Surprisingly, the results varied significantly within and between the individual methods, with up to a 9\% mean relative deviation. The relative deviation is strongly dependent on the size of the wood stack. The 3D measurement methods using iPad® RGB and LiDAR recorded lower timber volumes than the other methods, in contrast to the method based on samples taken with handheld laser scanner-LiDAR, which overestimated the volume. Generally, optical- and laser-based surveying techniques could be more widely applied in measuring wood stacks in the future. However, such automatic wood stack gross volume determination approaches still face some challenges, regarding accuracy in the case of the 2.5D methods and the lack of automatisation in the case of 3D methods.

In scientific literature, the terms valorization and valuation are often used interchangeably. In addition, there is a lack of research on private options versus conventional, public policy options. Therefore, we searched for private valorization options primarily in public sources (gray literature and websites). This led to the identification of four clusters (markets for voluntary services, labeling, and certification, environmental management/CSR, and tradable permits and quotas). Based on these clusters the options were assessed from a legal and systems dynamics perspective. In addition, the viability of selected valorization options in different future scenarios was examined. The analysis revealed a wide range of private valorization options, which in contrast to public policy options that focus almost entirely on the production stage, are spread across the agri-food value chain.

Water is abstracted from rivers, which are largely fed by glacier melt. In the course of climate change, glaciers melt down so that a reduced glacier volume and reduced water runoffs are expected to be available for irrigation. Tree wind breaks are one option to reduce water consumption in irrigated agriculture and build resilience against climate change. This paper therefore assesses the water consumption of major crops in Kyrgyzstan and adjacent areas, i.e., cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), corn (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in combination with tree wind breaks. Crop water consumption was assessed through the Penman Monteith approach. Tree wind break types investigated were single rows from poplars (Populus spec.) and multiple rows with understory vegetation by elm (Ulmus minor L.) and poplar, respectively. Tree water consumption was determined through sapflow measurements. The seasonal reference evapotranspiration (ETo) for field crops was 876-995 mm without wind breaks and dropped to less than half through multiple row wind breaks with understory vegetation (50 m spacing). Tree water consumption was 1125-1558 mm for poplar and 435 mm for elm. Among the wind break crop systems, elm wind breaks resulted in the highest reductions of water consumption, followed by single row poplars, at spacing of 50 and 100 m, respectively. However, elm grows much slower than poplar, so poplars might be more attractive for farmers. Furthermore, single row wind breaks might by much easier to be integrated into the agrarian landscape as they consume less space.}, language = {en} } @misc{BoecherBoetiusBorchardtetal.2021, author = {B{\"o}cher, Michael and Boetius, Antje and Borchardt, Dietrich and Grethe, Harald and Gutow, Lars and Haase, Dagmar and Hain, Stefan and Ibisch, Pierre L. and Jacob, Klaus and Joosten, Hans and Niebert, Kai and P{\"o}rtner, Hans-Otto and Settele, Josef and Zinngrebe, Yves}, title = {Naturschutzpolitischer Aufbruch jetzt: F{\"u}r ein Jahrzehnt des naturschutzbasierten Klimaschutzes und der Biodiversit{\"a}tspolitik - Orientierungspapier Biodiversit{\"a}t f{\"u}r die Koalitionsverhandlungen - Oktober 2021}, doi = {10.13140/RG.2.2.14927.41125}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-6909}, pages = {52}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Der Erhalt der Biodiversit{\"a}t und intakter {\"O}kosysteme ist {\"u}berlebenswichtig f{\"u}r Mensch und Natur.

Results within this process highlight that water governance was critical for large-scale transboundary WEF nexus management, while land and soil management were decisive for minimizing trade-offs at local levels. Issues of interdisciplinarity, complexity, uncertainty, and reflection on impacts were adequately addressed, but challenges remain in the consideration of ethics and the design of transparent, multi-actor cooperation.

We formulate a definition of soil-based ecosystem services as basis for conducting a review of existing soil valuation studies with a focus on the inclusion of ecosystem services and the choice of valuation methods. We find that, so far, the economic valuation of soil-based ecosystem services has covered only a small number of such services and most studies have employed cost-based methods rather than state-of-the-art preference-based valuation methods, even though the latter would better acknowledge the public good character of soil related services. Therefore, the relevance of existing valuation studies for political processes is low. Broadening the spectrum of analyzed ecosystem services as well as using preference-based methods would likely increase the informational quality and policy relevance of valuation results.

Yet little attention has been paid to the reverse direction of this relationship, i.e. how agricultural innovation projects affect AIS in the course of their innovative activities. Accordingly, there are currently no tools to measure such AIS spillovers from agricultural innovation projects. OBJECTIVE This paper shows that even where agricultural innovation projects have not been designed with the explicit aim of influencing AIS they can have spillovers on the AIS in which they operate. Based on this finding, it argues that designing agricultural innovation projects in a way that maximises such positive and reduces negative AIS spillovers would be a useful tool for strengthening agricultural innovation capacities in a particular territory or sector. METHODS Based on the concept of agricultural innovation projects as Organisational Innovation Systems (OIS) that are embedded in AIS, the paper develops an analytical framework for assessing spillovers of such projects on AIS and applies it to a case study of an Operational Group in the German Federal State of Hessen. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The case study shows that agricultural innovation projects may yield diverse spillovers on the AIS in which they operate. In addition to considering how agricultural innovation projects are shaped - constrained and/or enabled - by AIS, the research community on agricultural innovation should pay more attention to this side of the interrelation of AIS and agricultural innovation projects. Designing agricultural innovation projects responsibly so that spillovers on AIS are monitored can help to improve national or sectoral AIS. SIGNIFICANCE This paper points to an underexplored issue in research on agricultural innovation and, related to this, a thus far unused potential policy tool for improving national and sectoral AIS. It further develops the concept of innovation projects as OIS into an approach for assessing the effects of projects on AIS; an area of project assessment that until now has not been adequately covered.}, language = {en} }
