on China’s Agro-Ecosystem
Researchers created a multi-scale agro-ecosystem model by combining two leading crop models to allow farm- and regional-level agricultural dynamics to be studied and strategies developed to respond to climate change-induced changes in agriculture in China. More
Climate change adaptation of food and water systems
Major project in the Food and Water area. What are the spatial and temporal characteristics of adaptation requirements of current land uses (crops, livestock, forestry, nature protection)? More
Energy Use Impacts on the Environment (EnerGEO)
EnerGEO assessed the current and future impact of energy use on the environment by linking environmental observation systems with the processes involved in exploiting energy resources. More
Integrated Analysis and Modeling of Land Use Efficiency and Security under Rapid Agricultural Transformation in China
The project aims at developing an integrated methodology for investigating the interplay between urban development and ecological stress in rural areas. More
Life Cycle Impacts of Goods, Services, Activities (LC-IMPACT)
The LC-IMPACT project developed methods to assess the environmental life cycle impact of a vast number of goods, services, and activities. Assessments examined the environmental costs of, for example, erosion caused by land use and toxic substances used in production processes. More
