Our research focuses on soils and the critical zone. We aim to better understand and predict hydrological and biogeochemical processes in terrestrial systems. Key areas are agricultural and forestry systems facing increasing pressure due to global changehttps://bsky.app/profile/agrosphere-ibg-3.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/agrosphere-ibg-3.bsky.social/post/3m7an6p6lf22k#Soils ensure #foodsecurity and #biodiversity. However, #climate #change is putting them under incresing pressure. On #WorldSoilDay, we present our research on sustainable land use, #climate-resilient agriculture and global food security: https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/research/research-fields/bioeconomy/soil-and-water #IBG3 #agrosphere #WSD202505 Dec 2025 13:54 +0000at://did:plc:l6ew24l3rhr4id4ole2rlgvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3m7an6p6lf22khttps://bsky.app/profile/agrosphere-ibg-3.bsky.social/post/3lxefskidhk2tWe are seeking a new director for our institute: Director (f/m/d) at the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Agrosphere (IBG-3) at Forschungszentrum Jülich @fz-juelich.de with professorship (W3) in Terrestrial Systems Analysis at the @unibonn.bsky.social University of Bonn Please share this27 Aug 2025 06:31 +0000at://did:plc:l6ew24l3rhr4id4ole2rlgvx/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxefskidhk2thttps://bsky.app/profile/agrosphere-ibg-3.bsky.social/post/3lww3gca6vk26IBG-3 start-up Drought Analytics wants to make agriculture more resilient to droughts.
