Small-scale farmers are highly threatened by climate change. Experts often base their interventions to support adapt change on own perception of farmers' livelihood risks. However, if differences in risk between and experts exist, these might fail. Thus, for effective design implementation adaptation strategies farmers, it is necessary understand how influences decision-making. We analyze experts' systemic view threats relation other agricultural risks assess the perceptions. For Cauca,...
Current changes in food systems low- and middle-income countries are not only associated with increasing demand for driven by population growth. Shifts diets different production processing structures likely have a more considerable impact future: higher land requirements (e.g., animal-based proteins) or changing regions share of (imported) processed food). Whether the expected transition that is considerably larger than high income resilient, questionable. Beyond, resilience consistently...
Traditionally, agricultural land-use change (LUC) analyses focus on the conversion of natural land to agriculture especially in developing countries. Studies considering recent LUC (e.g., built-up land) for last two decades more stable systems Western Europe are mostly missing regional scale. Major pathways, their drivers and potential counteracting factors such as subsidies or an increasing demand products should be analyzed. Using Metropolitan Region Nuremberg Germany, we quantified (i)...
Resilience thinking is increasingly promoted to address some of the grand challenges 21 st century: providing water, energy, and food all, while staying within limits Earth system that undergoing (climate) change. Concurrently, a partially overlapping body literature on water–energy–food (WEF) nexus has emerged through realization systems are intricately linked—and should therefore be understood managed in conjunction. This paper reviews recent scientific publications at intersection both...
Bioenergy is receiving increasing attention because it may reduce greenhouse gas emissions, secure and diversify energy supplies stimulate rural development. The environmental sustainability of bioenergy production systems often determined through life-cycle assessments that focus on global effects, such as the emission gases or air pollutants. Local/regional impacts, e.g., impacts soil biodiversity, require site-specific flexible options for assessment sustainability, criteria indicators...
Participatory approaches have gained recognition in scientific research, particularly modeling human-environmental interactions and social-ecological systems (SES). Despite this achievement, a lack of in-depth understanding prevails to which degree, at scales levels, participation takes place during the cycle. Furthermore, information on linkages between level participating stakeholders agents environmental processes remains scarce. To shed light research gap, we conducted systematic review...
Meeting the world's growing energy demand through bioenergy production involves extensive land-use change which could have severe environmental and social impacts. Second generation feedstocks offer a possible solution to this problem. They potential reduce conflicts between food as they can be grown on low quality land not suitable for production. However, comprehensive impact assessment that considers multiple ecosystem services (ESS) biodiversity is needed identify environmentally best...
Food-system studies often assess dynamics in production, consumption or processing and logistics a spatially abstract manner. Land-system traditionally analyze land-use/land cover change with its environmental societal drivers as well impacts are typically explicit. Primary production is main node where food land systems overlap. We used systematic literature review to determine how existing Europe address the interface of systems. identified three pathways studies: economic, footprint crop...
Chromium compensated GaAs or GaAs:Cr sensors provided by the Tomsk State University (Russia) were characterized using low noise, charge integrating readout chip JUNGFRAU with a pixel pitch of 75 × µm2 regarding its application as an X-ray detector at synchrotrons sources FELs. Sensor properties such dark current, resistivity, noise performance, spectral resolution capability and transport measured compared results from previous batch which produced wafers obtained different supplier. The...
Photovoltaics is one of the key technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving climate neutrality Europe by 2050, which has led to promotion solar parks. These parks can span up several hundred hectares, grassland vegetation usually created between under panels. Establishing species-rich grasslands using native seed mixtures enhance a variety ecosystem services, including pollination. We present an overall concept designing promote pollinators, especially wild bees, in It...
Biomass for bioenergy is debated its potential synergies or tradeoffs with other provisioning and regulating ecosystem services (ESS). This biomass may originate from different production systems be purposefully grown obtained residues. Increased concerns globally about the sustainable of has resulted in numerous certification schemes focusing on best management practices, mostly operating at plot/field scale. In this study, we compare ESS two watersheds southeastern US. We show plantation...

Chromium compensated GaAs sensors have been characterized using the charge-integrating readout chip JUNGFRAU. Due to its low noise performance and 75 × μm2 pixel size, JUNGFRAU enables a precise measurement of charge (of either polarity) with high spatial resolution. Several sensor parameters like dark current, spectral as well transport properties electrons determined. The short lifetime holes in GaAs:Cr gives rise an effect where pixels adjacent photon hit show strong negative signal when...
Land consumption for settlement and infrastructure development has been extensively discussed analyzed in the last two decades. In Germany, existing governance at state level seems to hardly foster effective land management municipal achieve overarching goals of European Union such as "no net take". Germany aims limit less than 30 ha per day by 2030. This goal is translated where actual land-use decisions are taken due planning sovereignty. order address these deficiencies, this study...
Global demand for agricultural and forestry products fundamentally affects regional land-use change associated with environmental impacts (EIs) such as erosion. In contrast to aggregated global metrics greenhouse gas (GHG) balances, local/regional EIs of different production regions need methods which enable worldwide EI comparisons. The key aspect is control heterogeneity reveal man-made differences between regions. Environmental the variation in biotic abiotic conditions. present study, we...
The MYTHEN detector is a single photon counting microstrip with 50 μm pitch developed at Paul Scherrer Institute for powder diffraction experiments the Swiss Light Source. After more than ten years of operation II, new readout chip III was designed in 110 nm UMC technology to upgrade current detector. It improve all aspects, specifically noise performance, count rate capability, threshold dispersion and frame rate. Each strip features dual polarity front end consisting charge sensitive...
