How Climate Change Affects Nutrient Dynamics in Lakes and Reservoirs

Changes in nutrient dynamics caused by rising water temperatures and altered stratification patterns due to climate change are promoting the growth of harmful algal blooms. This is the outcome of a new long-term study led by the University of Bayreuth and conducted in the Franconian Lake District. The researchers report their findings in the journal Water Resources Research.

EU Project Promotes Differentiation in Mathematics Teaching

Together with the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Czech Republic), the University of Bayreuth has launched a project on teaching mathematics in heterogeneous learning groups. The international research and qualification project “MaDiMat” aims to empower teachers and student teachers to develop and implement differentiated learning opportunities in mathematics education.

New Sustainable Polymer Class Discovered

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have discovered a new class of polymers as part of the work carried out within the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1357 Microplastics. These polymers are characterised by biodegradable and recyclable properties and can also be processed in a more sustainable way. The researchers report their findings in the scientific journal Small.

Regenerating the Rainforest: Biodiversity Recovers Remarkably Quickly

Tropical rainforests are home to almost two-thirds of all vertebrate species and three-quarters of all tree species: they are the most species-rich terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. However, these diverse rainforests are currently being drastically decimated. Can tropical rainforests regenerate, and will the unique diversity of thousands of animal species return after they have been cleared? This question was investigated by the Reassembly research group, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), with the involvement of researchers from the University of Bayreuth. The findings have now been published in the journal Nature.
