Research focus
The research of our group is targeted on the analysis and development of efficient grassland systems. Our work at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences is integrated into activities of the , of the and of the of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences. Key research expertise is in the field of
- Biodiversity of managed grasslands
- Vegetation/agricultural herbivore relationships in grasslands
- Fluxes of major nutrients in grazed systems
- Effectiveness of agri-environment schemes
- Influences of climatic changes on grassland systems
- Developing new grazing technology
- Young Farmers Tour in Project Grazing4Agroecology
- Virtual Fencing on the radio at Deutschlandradio
- First results with Virtual Fencing
