@iamo-lsg.bsky.social
Interdisciplinary research group at IAMO (https://bsky.app/profile/iamo.bsky.social) Our focus is on: land-use change, agriculture, food security, sustainability in Southeastern Europe, Central/Southeast Asia, China Website: https://lsg.iamo.de/home
Beef: time to stop horsing around… or time to start? 🐎 Horsemeat could be a more sustainable and nutritious alternative to beef and other red meats. Lower emissions, less land & water use, and nutrient-rich. doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...
Climate change is increasing agricultural water demand across Central Asia. Rising temperatures and higher evapotranspiration are the main drivers, outweighing the effects of changes in cropping practices. 🌾💧 Publication: doi.org/10.1038/s432...
Climate change has increased crop water consumption in Central Asia despite less water-intensive cropping - Communications Earth & Environment
Total crop water consumption increased by 10% from 1987 to 2019 in Central Asia’s Amu Darya Basin, mainly driven by climate change as less water-intensive crops were adopted, according to analyses of ...

In den Ukraine-Analysen dokumentieren wir mit Satellitendaten die massiven Kriegsschäden an ukrainischen Wäldern: Nahe der Front wurden von 2021 bis 2025 38% der Bestände beschädigt oder zerstört – mit gravierenden Folgen für #Klima, #Biodiversität und #Landwirtschaft: doi.org/10.31205/UA....
Very nice storymap on our paper on fire and grazing in Kazakhstan --> storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/fc91...
Grazing Fire
Changes in grazing patterns explain post-Soviet fire trends on the Eurasian steppe better than climate

A new study maps global “human–nature archetypes,” helping guide biodiversity, land-use, and food policies worldwide. Daniel Müller (@danielmu11er.bsky.social) from our working group contributed to this work. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.on...
Just published 🌱: We dug into 16 million+ field records across Central Europe to find out what drives farmers’ crop rotation choices. Turns out past cropping, agronomic advice, and legume prices matter a lot and legumes are likely to play a much bigger role in the future👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...
