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.

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.

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.

The interdisciplinary collaborative project ALIGN will establish a research framework to systematically address the legal, ethical and societal issues surrounding new genomic techniques (NGT) in plant breeding. The University of Bayreuth is responsible for the overall coordination of the project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.

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.
