📅 On 17th of May we continue with a second #webinar on the topic of DROUGHT ADAPTATION OF FORESTS IN EUROPE. 👨🏻‍🏫 Andreas Rigling, Professor of Forest Growth at ETH Zürich and the Swiss Federal Research Institute Eidg. Forschungsanstalt WSL is co-organizing the event and will present “The impact of mistletoe on Scot's pine performance in a dryer future.” 🌳 He has more than 30 years of experience studying the impact of a changing environment on today’s #forests. His research focusses on forest ecosystems' resilience with respect to climate change, biotic and abiotic stressors, natural disturbances, and legacy effects of past land use on today’s forests. He is developing integrated #forestmanagement concepts to balance the delivery of multiple #ecosystem services, including the promotion of #biodiversity for our future forests. 🌲 During the webinar, he will provide insights into the relationship between Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and the hemiparasitic Pine mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. austriacum). #Mistletoes are currently increasing in abundance in many European regions and increasing their range of distribution. Mistletoe infection can alter processes of forest dynamics and tree performance: it can have potentially positive effects on ecosystem nutrient cycling but also negative effects on vegetative and reproductive development and water status and, hence, can decisively increase #drought stress of the host tree. 🪵While Scots pine is increasingly suffering from hotter droughts, this parasitic plant is additionally depriving water and nutrients from its host tree – what effect will it have on the future performance of this tree species?

Climate Hysteria is based on rising CO2 but CO2 is only a minuscule 0.04% of the atmosphere. Humans contribute only 3% of that 0.04%. #Catastrophizing #fossilfuture #junkscience #ClimateScam

🔍 Next up: Case study 3: Goal-oriented biodiversity promotion in Switzerland. 🇨🇭 This case study explores how agricultural subsidies can effectively promote biodiversity on Swiss farms. Despite national efforts, recent biodiversity monitoring showed insufficient progress. The ZiBiF program tests targeted biodiversity measures on 29 farms in Zürich over a four-year pilot phase, working closely with biodiversity and agricultural consultants to ensure effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability. 🌾 Discover the barriers encountered and the potential challenges in applying these measures across Switzerland! 🌱💪 #ENFASYS #Sustainability #RegenerativeAgriculture #Agriculture #AgriEnvironment #ClimateAction . . . .

Listen to the podcast “Vom Feld ins Regal” to learn how #AI tackles climate-change related issues in #Kenya and #Indonesia! 🎧   🌾🧑🏽‍🌾 There are more than 500 million smallholder #farmers worldwide. Heat, droughts and rainfall have a significant impact on their work. Especially in the Global South, people are feeling the consequences of #ClimateChange. 🌪️🌡️Smallholder farmers must therefore consider when the right time is to plant their seeds or which plants can withstand these weather differences. Karlina Octaviany, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH advisor from Indonesia, and Ruth Schmidt, PhD, from #FairForward, explain how AI can be used in agriculture and for the benefit of the local community.    🎧 Listen to the podcast here: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ezfiKrBP Podigee: https://lnkd.in/efsGSRva Amazon Music: https://lnkd.in/e6KQ-XRD Apple Music: https://lnkd.in/e2s6vz8N

To all CSRD reporters: This new guideline for the description, identification, and formulation of IROs according to the ESRS provides a helpful overview 💡 The Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitskodex (DNK) has published their new guide "Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (IROs) – Guidance on Description, Identification & Formulation". These guidelines are intended to support companies in understanding company-specific IROs as part of their materiality assessment. IRO identification allows relevant topics to be identified and targeted measures to be formulated to fulfill regulatory requirements and promote sustainable development.
