The only downside was that probably not everyone was able to see the beautiful pictures of our flowering areas and the co-design of our study landscapes.

Main conclusion: Effective conservation must integrate landscape restoration and social levers 1. local management boosts plant and bee richness 2. landscape-scale habitat connectivity strengthens species diversity and ecosystem functions 3. farmers’ motivation matters @biodiversa.eu

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 🚜 www.uni-goettingen.de/en/628701.html

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! 🧪

Mojib Latif zeigt Folie mit LOTI-Anomalien, die die Abweichung der gemessenen globalen Durchschnittstemperatur zeigen, auf der Jahresfeier der Niedersächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, Zitat auf der Folie: Mit Physik kann man nicht verhandeln und auch keine Kompromisse schließen!

If you see this, take a picture taken in the mountains. Northern Lights in the Dolomites, October 2024, the picture was taken by Jannis Westphal.

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!
