06/07/2022 - Vera Porwollik successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled "Patterns of Cropland Management Systems for Assessment of Global Change" at the Humboldt University of Berlin.
In global land use assessments, emissions from cropland use are often underestimated as they do not account for emission originating from various management practices on cropland. Vera's dissertation elaborates on the pattern and general data availability of agricultural management practices for improved global gridded crop modeling assessments.
The thesis includes three publications:
- The role of cover crops for cropland soil carbon, nitrogen leaching, and agricultural yields – a global simulation study with LPJmL in Biogeosciences
- Generating a rule-based global gridded tillage dataset in Earth System Science Data
- Spatial and temporal uncertainty of crop yield aggregations in European Journal of Agronomy
