During the heat wave of 2018, meadows and pastures also suffered from drought. Are grasslands in diverse landscapes more resilient to yield losses than those in monotonous regions? Researchers at the University of Bonn, led by Marco Ferro and Dr. Jan Börner from the Institute for Food and Resource Economics (ILR), investigated the influence of landscape diversity on the drought tolerance of grasslands as part of Collaborative Research Center 1502 DETECT. The work is published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics.

📋 Key Takeaway
Researchers from the University of Bonn studied the impact of landscape diversity on the drought resilience of grasslands during the 2018 heat wave. The findings suggest that grasslands in diverse landscapes are less susceptible to yield losses compared to those in uniform regions. This research is relevant for Iran as it faces challenges related to agriculture and climate change.
