BLIZ

Congrats to Dr. Jana Blechschmidt for the succesful PhD defense. Very proud of the new modelling offspring of the Ecological Modelling group! Time to celebrate! @bayklif

🌾🌦️🌳Happy to announce that our article: "Tackling climate change: Agroforestry adoption in the face of regional weather extremes" is now available at: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Here's a quick summary of our findings 🧵 @blizproject w/ Jo Sauer @TU_Muenchen

@Sven_Rubanschi stellt das @blizproject auf dem #bayklif Abschlusssymposium vor. #Klimawandel #Klimaforschung

Nice to spend the evening together after a long day of writing during our BLIZ/ECOMOD writing retreat. Tomorrow seminar at Uni Marburg! @blizproject @CCTB_Wuerzburg @UoBbiosciences

🙌 Thanks to all collaborators from @GamesUniwue and @cabral_sarmento ! @JuliaLanguage @unity @blizproject @CCTB_Wuerzburg @KIT_IfGG_Veg

🌿 We present the julia-Unity plugin by @manke_nico. The tool aims to bridge the gap between Julia's growing popularity in mechanistic models and Unity's prower in interactive simulations. The immersive simulation of a macrophyte growth model serves as a first case study.

🎮 Did you know you can use a game engine to better visualise ecological models? 🔍 Check out the new paper: "Integrating Julia Code into the Unity Game Engine to Dive into Aquatic Plant Growth." doi.org/10.2312/imet.2… #julialanguage #unity3d #ecologicalmodeling

Congratulations, dear @ChrStetter 🥳 Great work! 🎉

After the dry early summer, the forest canopy condition reached a negative record beginning of July but largely improved until end of July due to wetter conditions. #ForestCondition (left: quantiles, right: proportions) More info: shorturl.at/hoIQ9

Beginning of July, the #ForestCondition Monitor showed a stark increase in lowest quantiles, likely as a result of ongoing drought in that period. It'll be interesting to analyze canopy changes in July after repeated rainfall ended the #drought.

📢 Look beneath the surface! 🌊🌿New process-based modelling study reveals how future changes will affect the species richness of freshwater macrophytes. Read the full story in the @Oikos_Journal at doi.org/10.1111/oik.09…

In mid June, forest canopy greenness declined in many parts of Germany due to emerging drought conditions. In particular, the Thüringer Wald, the Schwarzwald, the Eifel, and the majority of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg were characterized by low canopy greenness #forestcondition

🚨🚨🚨 Good news after coming back from my holiday break: Our paper “Farm-level responses to weather trends: A structural model”, led by @StefanGWimmer, w/ Jonas Schmitt, and @RobertFinger1 is now online at @AJAE_AAEA . More info below:

The late phenology as observed over the cool and wet spring period seems to catch in May as indicated by a reduction of low quantiles. Studying the development of #ForestCondition 2023 over the next weeks will be interesting due to increasingly drier conditions. #climatechange

Thanks to @CCTB_Wuerzburg, @bayklif, @blizproject, @LES_UniBham, @UoBbiosciences, @unibirmingham for support and thanks the ample network of co-authors

Perspective on integrating climate change effects on land use into regional biodiversity models – outcome of @blizproject workshop with colleagues across the @bayklif network and beyond besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…. Published @PaN_BES. Thread:

The #ForestConditionMonitor season 2023 has started with relatively low quantiles in several parts of Germany. However, this might be caused by the relatively cool and moist spring conditions, which have delayed #phenology and the onset of the growing season. #climatechange

NEW: @Sven_Rubanschi recently published his first PhD paper. This is an important story on how modelling can be used to identify potential biotopes in the landscape, with potential for restoration. Congrats Sven! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

I successfully defended my PhD thesis yesterday! So happy that all the hard work has paid off. Thanks so much to my supervisors, colleagues, friends and family! #PhDone
