Annual yields of multispecies grassland mesocosms outperformed monocultures across a drought gradient due to complementarity effects and rapid recovery

open access: yesGrassland Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 309-321, December 2023., 2023
Drought poses major risks to the functioning of agronomic grasslands. We assessed the yield response of four species in monocultures and a mixture across a drought gradient. All yields were negatively impacted, but mixtures showed the highest annual yields. A gradient approach enabled a more detailed understanding plant responses to drought.

Wheat and faba bean intercropping and cultivar impacts on morphology, disease, and yield

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 6, Page 3010-3024, November/December 2023., 2023
Abstract Modern agriculture relies heavily on synthetic fertilizer and pesticide inputs. Pressure is increasing to find alternatives that reduce such inputs. In comparison to monocultures, intercropping can reduce plant diseases and increase yield, thereby reducing inputs and maximizing land use efficiency.

Evaluating collaborative scenarios for short food supply chains: a case study on high‐level processing technology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Food Science &Technology, Volume 58, Issue 10, Page 5591-5601, October 2023., 2023
Research process and key insights of the study. Summary This study examined three collaborative scenarios for the implementation of a high‐level aseptic filling machine in small‐scale food processing for improved food safety in short food supply chains. A two‐stage research design was implemented, based on an exploration and evaluation phase.

Nanohaloarchaea as beneficiaries of xylan degradation by haloarchaea

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1803-1822, September 2023., 2023
Using samples of natural evaporitic brines and anthropogenic solar salterns, we describe genome‐inferred trophic relations in two extremely halophilic xylan‐degrading three‐member consortia. We succeeded in genome assembly and closure for all members of both xylan‐degrading cultures and elucidated the respective food chains within these consortia.

Increased importance of cool‐water fish at high latitudes emerges from individual‐level responses to warming

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
We studied 11 cool‐water adapted freshwater fish populations in communities dominated by cold‐water adapted species to investigate changes in the relative importance of cool‐water fish during the last 30 years of rapid warming in high latitude lakes.

Resources for plant‐based food: Estimating resource use to meet the requirements of urban and peri‐urban diets

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2023., 2023
A method to estimate resource use by crop systems to meet food needs is proposed. PLATE is a proxy of the per capita intake of energy‐ and nutrient‐rich vegetables. Water, energy, and area use of two urban systems (open field and plant factories with artificial lighting) are compared. The method can support decisions at farm level and in urban‐regional

The consequences of density‐dependent individual growth for sustainable harvesting and management of fish stocks

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 427-438, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Density dependence is likely to act as a regulatory mechanism in fish stocks that are recovering from overfishing. In general, density dependence in fish stocks is assumed to only occur in reproduction and early life stages and is therefore usually modelled as a stock‐recruitment relationship.

The effect of hunger state on hypothalamic functional connectivity in response to food cues

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 418-428, February 1, 2023., 2023
In response to high caloric food images, we found higher hypothalamic functional connectivity, in the sated compared to the fasted state, with brain regions involved in reward and gustatory processing and executive function. Furthermore, we found reduced functional connectivity between hypothalamus and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in persons ...

Genetic population structure of the critically endangered stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) in the Black Sea basin: Implications for conservation

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1926-1939, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) is a species of great conservation concern throughout its range. Over the past century, it has experienced a dramatic decline in abundance and distribution in the Black Sea basin. Information regarding the genetic structure of the species is very limited in the region, despite its crucial importance for ...
