DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Stefan Sommer (Marine Geosysteme FB2)\n\nAbstractThe
  ongoing 5-year research project iFOODis funded by the German Helmholtz So
 ciety aims to establish a monitoring network for the continuous assessment
  of ecosystem health on land and surface waters in relation to agricultura
 l activities. The network is primarily focusing on the synoptic observatio
 n of the food crop state\, local hydrological cycle\, soil-moisture\, soil
 -erosion\, nutrient leaching\, carbon\, phosphorous and nitrogen flows in 
 agricultural ecosystems and nutrient export to the coastal zone. The netwo
 rk comprises 11 measurement sites on a farm land adjacent to the stream F
 üsinger Au\, which drains about 55 % of the entire Schlei Region (SW Balt
 ic Sea region) and discharge into the Schlei. It further includes several 
 stations along the Füsinger Au to monitor water quality\, as well as a pe
 rmanent station in the Schlei at the mouth of the Füsinger Au. The Schlei
  represents a brackish almost landlocked water body with a surface area of
  52 km2 and length of ca. 43 km. Its catchment area\, a hilly countryside 
 with altitudes of max. 30 m\, of about 667 km2 was formed by glacio-fluvia
 l erosion processes. Due to the discharge of municipal waste waters as wel
 l as inputs of nutrients from agriculture the Schlei is hypertrophic and r
 epresents the most eutrophied German Baltic water body. Its ecological sta
 tus has been classified as bad.This presentation will highlight technical 
 details of the network and present first results. The network was progress
 ively started in autumn 2025\, jointly facilitated by the German research 
 institutions\, GEOMAR (Kiel)\, University of Kiel\, AWI (Bremerhaven) and 
 the German Aerospace Center (DLR) involving strong relationships to farmer
 s\, environmental authorities and non-governmental organizations.\nSeminar
