Research work mainly focuses on the analysis of processes of material interactions between agriculture, environment and climate, as well as on impacts of pollutants on agricultual production processes, and on the importance of soil (micro-) organisms and soil biodiversity for the function and capacity of agroecosystems. In addition, data for the construction of a national inventory of carbon stocks and carbon losses from agricultural soils are gathered. Research concerns questions of agricultural land use, protection of climate, soils and environment, of development and application of environmental indicators, and of assessment of ecological performance of agriculture.

Studies on ozone-genotype interactions on field-grown winter wheat
| |
 Winter wheat is the predominant cereal crop across Europe, but current ozone risk assessment procedures are based solely on older exposure-response data for spring wheat. The ozone sensitivity of local winter wheat cultivars is largely unknown. Therefore, a field exposure experiment was started in spring 2006 to investigate the impact of environmentally-relevant concentrations of ozone on two different winter wheat cultivars. > more
