🎤 Bühne frei für die Wissenschaft! Svenja Bänsch hat bei uns @FuncAgroEco promoviert – und beim Science Slam erklärt, warum Erdbeeren oft leer ausgehen: Wenn der Raps blüht, fliegen Honigbienen mehr auf ihn ab. Wie steht es um Hummeln und andere Wildbienen: Übernehmen sie die Bestäubung der Erdbeeren?

Wie hat sie geforscht, was kam dabei raus und was meint ihr Kater „Professor Meowton“ dazu? Hier geht es zum Video: youtube.com/watch?v=Kc0RQgQqoq

How can farms and other stakeholders from e.g. local governments and #politics work together to improve #natureconversation? Researchers of our @FuncAgroEco have identified essential key factors that facilitate successful agricultural-environmental collaboration at landscape level: uni-goettingen.de/en/891.html?

Results published in #PeopleAndNature: doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10782

In the second year of implementation, a diverse range of flowers developed, including carnations, meadow daisies, wild carrot and wild teasel.

New study: #CropDiversification can help pollinators without taking land out of agricultural production, but only some #pollinator species may benefit. We highlight mechanisms on the spatial
and temporal #diversity of crops. Led by Thijs Fijen
