T 6: Modelling impacts of land use change on environmental services - from research to implementation - initiated by the SFB subproject C4

Description: Das Projekt "T 6: Modelling impacts of land use change on environmental services - from research to implementation - initiated by the SFB subproject C4" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Hohenheim, Institut für Tropische Agrarwissenschaften (Hans-Ruthenberg-Institut), Fachgebiet Pflanzenbau in den Tropen und Subtropen (490e) durchgeführt. Background: In combination with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), dynamic computer models have become valuable tools in landscape analysis and impact assessment of land use at the watershed scale. Landscape models are not only able to simulate mid- to long-term effects of management and land use change on environmental degradation and rehabilitation, but also to depict spatial long term trends in a clear way. However, despite this practical relevance, dynamic models are mostly employed by members of the scientific community. The transfer project T6 aims at making landscape modelling more easily accessible for (present and future) land use planners, offer users support in the entire modelling cycle (data entry, parameterisation, validation, scenario building and analysis) and receive at the same time feedback from the users, which will help improving model acceptance and relevance. Expected results: The T6 project was initiated in response to partners' demand for improved land use planning and research tools that combine a science based approach and applicability in the field. Applications for scenario testing involve testing new land uses for their environmental implications, such as - environmental trade-offs of economically interesting new species like rubber in marginally suitable habitats - carbon sequestration and reduced emission potentials - environmental impact assessment - water use efficiency of crops under conditions of climate change - effects of soil conservation on yields, sedimentation and nutrient cycling - effects of environmental degradation on soil fertility and food security. In teaching, the project will familiarise land use planners and students of agricultural and environmental faculties with modelling approaches and show ways of using watershed models for applied issues. This includes courses at master level, supervision of individual related projects and capacity building for environmental managers and scientists. These activities are intended to foster systems thinking and interdisciplinary cooperation. Evaluation criteria in this context are - Successful model application using locally available data and validation of model outputs by the stakeholders. - Enhanced and more integrated land use planning facilitated by model use and systems thinking - Courses offered to master students, elaboration of teaching materials and model manuals, default data sets and showcase scenarios - Model validation, development of new modules in LUCIA - Direct dialogue between users and developers and on demand development of modules increases acceptance and relevance of the model (abridged text)
