EcoStack researchers need YOU! Please share your #ield monitor data to help us understand the effects of field boundary features and the services they provide to mitigte yield decline at the crop edge
The EcoStack project is investigating how landscape features such as hedgerows or wildflowers benefits on-farm biodiversity and crop yield.
We are asking farmers for yield monitor data from GPS-enabled combines. The data will help us to determine how landscape features found just beyond the field affects variation in crop yield, and whether yield decline towards the edge of fields can be reduced by the presence of certain types of field boundaries.

GERMAN VERSION
Im Rahmen des EcoStack-Projekts wird untersucht, wie Landschaftselemente wie Hecken oder Wildblumen der biologischen Vielfalt und den Ernteerträgen in den Betrieben zugutekommen. Dafür bitten wir Landwirte und Landwirtinnen um die Daten der Ertragsüberwachung von GPS-fähigen Mähdreschern. Anhand dieser Daten können wir feststellen, wie Landschaftsmerkmale die Ernteerträge beeinflussen und ob der Ertragsrückgang am Feldrand durch das Vorhandensein bestimmter Arten verringert werden kann.
