Abstract Heat and drought are major abiotic stressors threatening cereal yields, but little is known about the spatio-temporal yield effect of these stressors. In this study, we assess genotype (G) × environment (E) management (M) specific weather-yield relations utilizing spatially explicit weather indices (WIs) variety trial data winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) rye Secale cereale for all German growing regions period 1993–2021. The objectives study to determine explanatory power...
Over the last decade, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, an invasive pest of soft-skinned fruits, gradually established itself in Europe, often resulting significant economic losses. In 2011, when D. was first described for Germany, Julius Kühn Institut (JKI) started a monitoring program southwest Germany to study occurrence and activity fly. Capture data from late 2011–early 2018 100 traps were analyzed effect weather immediate habitat on trap captures at different times year. We identified five...
Crop yields are increasingly affected by climate change-induced weather extremes in Germany. However, there is still little knowledge of the specific crop-climate relations and respective heat drought stress-induced yield losses. Therefore, we configure indices (WIs) that differ timing intensity stress wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We construct these WIs using gridded phenology time series data from 1995 to 2019 aggregate them with Germany-wide municipality level on-farm data. statistically...
The DynAWI Extreme Weather Toolbox represents an innovative approach to addressing climate-related challenges in agriculture. This publicly accessible web application offers three primary functions: a historical agricultural weather indicator atlas, dynamic configurator for calculating user-specified indexes, and forecast model predicting reduced yields or complete crop failure due extremes. can perform real-time analyses based on multi-dimensional spatio-temporal data.The technical...
Abstract Vegetated strips are in the focus of many stakeholders agroecosystems and part several agri‐environmental schemes Germany. Stakeholders have different expectations demands on functionality services vegetated strips. In our review, we focused biodiversity ecosystem pollination, conservation biocontrol, landscape aesthetics, buffer function, biomass production their associated functions. We assessed factors that crucial to support service provision reviewed trade‐offs between...
Digital transformation is a key to turn public authorities into organisations that make decisions based on data-driven insights. The use of big geodata can enable tackle complex sustainability issues. However, the efficient management large amounts through implementing viable data infrastructures represents major challenge for authorities. In this article, we propose decentralized, cloud-integrated spatial infrastructure (SDI) meet needs mandated provide services earth observation (EO)...
Impact assessment of partial or complete abandonment glyphosate application for farmers in Germany
Urban trees are essential for cities as they reduce the risk of flooding and provide shade coolness in summer months. However, these exposed to environmental stresses, e.g. due limited soil resources unfavorable hydrological conditions caused by impervious surface drought. As part CliMax project, our research aims develop a method that uses LiDAR (light detection ranging) Sentinel-2 monitor estimate vitality urban Braunschweig Brandenburg a.d.H. Estimating tree conducting ground measurement...
The project “DynAWI – dynamische Agararwetterindikatoren” (dynamic agriculture weather indices) aims to develop a process chain for data integration and real-time analysis extreme weather. Extreme events have major impact on horticulture cause significant economic costs. damage depends not only the type of event (e.g. heat wave, drought stress or heavy precipitation), but also ontogenetic development crops. Previously, farmers calculated their risk with fixed...
<title>Abstract</title> Accurate estimates of the location, timing, and severity soil-erosion events on arable land have eluded erosion-prediction technology for decades. Here, first time, we demonstrate how a machine learning model can nowcast occurrence relatively rank erosion field parcels at regional scale with high accuracy interpretable outputs. Our findings pave way dynamic, large-scale erosion-monitoring systems to achieve healthy soils improve food security.
The western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) is one of the most important pests maize in world and endemic to North America. In 1992, first beetles were detected Europe close Airport Belgrade. Since then beetle has actively spread through Europe. 2007, caught pheromone traps southern Germany (Bavaria Baden-Wurttemberg). By now, also been Rhine-Westphalia (only 2010), Hesse 2011) as well Rhineland-Palatinate (2011 2012). future, it expected, that will further Germany.
