Bei uns gibt es nicht nur Fakten zu #Bienen und #Blühmischungen - wir simulieren Verluste in Nahrungsnetzen und machen ein #CitizenScience Knetraupenexperiment 🐛🐛🐛

More isn’t always better.
Landscape-scale measures that offer both nesting habitats and floral resources support bees more than those boosting only flowers. We show empirical evidence of synergistic and antagonistic effects of organic farming, flower fields, and natural habitats.

Vegetation monitoring has started in our perennial flower fields: After 2 years, our 100% native #wildflower mix is still thriving 🌿🌼🐝 — we recorded many sown and wild plant species, with only few problematic weeds or grasses. #ProjectKooperativ #NextCAP 🚜

Jahresfeier der Niedersächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften: Im Fokus die #Wissenschaftskommunikation. Fakten zu #Klimawandel und #Biodiversitätsverlusten sind bekannt, werden aber nicht wahrgenommen. Mojib Latif brachte es auf den Punkt: Wir haben kein Erkenntnis- sondern ein Umsetzungsproblem! 🧪

If you see this, take a picture taken in the mountains.

On my way to University of #Hohenheim. I am looking forward to giving the first talk at the #LandscapEcology Colloquium today. The topic will be: Promoting #biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes. Thanks for the invitation!
