Birds in the reeds and new knowledge of environmental awareness
Birds in the reeds and new knowledge of environmental awareness
This week there is interesting news from natural and environmental research. Among other things, a project was presented that deals with the reduction in the use of chemicals in viticulture. After all, viticulture is badly affected by climate change in terms of the quality and yield of the grapes. The EU research approach called Vinny aims to reduce the use of agrochemicals by half by means of nanotechnology. This could bring significant advantages for the environment and the quality of the wine.
In another exciting research project, scientists from the Vienna Neustadt University of Applied Sciences examined how meat consumption correlates with people's environmental awareness. Your analysis shows that many people know the negative effects of meat consumption on the climate, but often develop defense mechanisms to justify their eating behavior. These tactics that serve to displace the guilty conscience make it more difficult to achieve sustainable changes in consumer behavior.scientific progress in bird acoustics
An important project of the University of Vienna in cooperation with the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park has focused on researching birds in the reed belt. Over three years, more than two million audio files were collected at 57 different locations, which were analyzed with the help of artificial intelligence. This data show that older reed parts accommodate a larger biodiversity of birds, while younger reed areas attract specific species such as beard tans and pond tube singers. Such findings are crucial for nature conservation and the preservation of biodiversity.
For detailed information on the projects described and their possible effects on the environment, I recommend a look at the report of www.diepresse.com .
