P-Campus Lecture Series WS 2024/25
THURSDAYS | 3:00 PM | ONLINE VIA WEBEX
In October 2024, the new multidisciplinary lecture series of the ScienceCampus Phosphorus Research Rostock will start. Look forward with us to exciting lectures from different disciplines and use the lectures for professional exchange.
▸ open to everyone after registration
▸ presentations will be given in German or English (see respective lecture for details)
▸ questions to the lecturer may be in German or English
After your registration you will receive a confirmation e-mail. The access data will be sent to you on the day of the event. The lectures will be recorded and made available to P-Campus members and registered participants upon request.
Please make sure that Webex has access to your speaker (test here in advance). If you have any questions about this, please contact Maxi Hoche (maxi.hoche@catalysis.de). If you have any subject-specific questions concerning the lectures, please contact Dana Zimmer (dana.zimmer@catalysis.de). We look forward to your participation and exciting discussions.

Abstract
Der Vortrag zieht die Bilanz aus dem humanwissenschaftlichen Teil der Arbeit des Phosphor-Campus, der sich vor allem mit wirksamen politisch-rechtlichen Instrumenten beschäftigte, die auf eine stärkere Kreislaufführung und geringere Umweltbelastung bezogen auf P abzielen. Die vom Referenten geleitete Forschungsstelle Nachhaltigkeit und Klimapolitik hat entsprechende Instrumente seit 2013 geprüft und neue Steuerungsansätze entwickelt. Leitend war dabei die Erkenntnis, dass eine selektive P-Governance kaum entwickelt werden kann. Vielmehr muss es um Instrumente der Landnutzungs-Governance zur integrierten Lösung verschiedener untrennbar verbundener Umweltprobleme gehen (wie Klimawandel, Biodiversitätsverlust, gestörte Nährstoffkreisläufe u.a.m.). Als besonders zentral erwiesen sich dabei ökonomische Instrumente, die auf eine Mengensteuerung der Tierhaltung sowie der fossilen Brennstoffe abzielen, flankiert durch Ordnungsrecht und Subventionen, wobei letztere allerdings einen grundlegenden Umbau erfordern und auch nicht – wie bislang – als Haupt-Steuerungsinstrument im Agrarbereich taugen.

Abstract
Rapeseed is an economically and soil-ecologically valuable crop in crop rotations, but has a high P requirement. For the vast majority of all plant species, the essential factor for improved P supply is symbiosis with fungi, mycorrhiza formation. However, rapeseed is one of the few non-mycorrhizal crops, so its root growth is of increased importance for P supply. Organic fertilization and biostimulants can significantly promote root growth and thereby contribute to increased P use efficiency. As part of improved nutrient recycling, the potential of mushroom compost and marine biomass for fertilizing rapeseed was tested. The potential of organic fertilization and biostimulants to promote root growth and yield of rapeseed was revealed in pot experiments and initial field trials and is currently being tested in several field trials in a research network.

Abstract
More and more peatlands are becoming of interest to science and society because of their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and, thus, to global climate change. The function of peat soils in the water and nutrient cycles is, likewise, assumed to be substantial but far less studied. Peat soils, especially in a pristine state, are unique in the sense that their hydro-physical properties differ often dramatically from those of mineral soils. The most extraordinary feature of peat is its high porosity, which easily exceeds 90 vol% with a dominance of macropores (>50 μm). Drainage of peatland accelerates carbon mineralization, resulting in a higher bulk density and a lower porosity. This conversion of the peat goes along with a shift in hydraulic properties and, thus, in the functioning of the peatland in the landscape, although almost no study has ever quantified the impact of peat soil degradation on water and solute movement at the landscape level. It remains a challenge to assess as to what extent degraded fen peats are connected to adjacent mineral soils and water bodies
