SYBERAC research project

Aarhus University @au.dk contributes to SYBERAC from the ENVS and SESS. They support the stakeholder engagement, case studies, and #ecological modelling on #EnvironmentalRiskAssessment.

#Ecosystems

Another meeting, you ask? Yes, the SYBERAC steering board also met for a standard review by the European Commission, connected to a visit to the @rspb.bsky.social Hope Farm case study site, of 2 of the project's case studies.
#EnvironmentalRiskAssessment

"Hej" from our team in the Danish later summer sun! 👋☀️ Last week, we met in @au.dk for our annual in-person consortium meeting, to discuss the #fieldresearch season, connecting case studies and getting to a #systemsbased approach to #EnvironmentalRiskAssessment.

🌿 How do plant protection products affect farmland birds? We're investigating this with our partners @uclm.es in our Case Study 1B!

Happy World Lake Day! 💧 This first-ever observance celebrates #lakes as vital freshwater sources, biodiversity hubs, and climate regulators. The SYBERAC project's Case Study 2B is a great example of protecting them by studying agrochemical runoff's impact on amphibians. #WorldLakeDay #Ecosystems

SYBERAC's second to last project goal:
5 | Development of models linking
i) #ChemicalEcotoxicity
ii) impacts on #biodiversity (genetic and functional) and
iii) #EcosystemServices.

SYBERAC is a #EUfunded 4-year research project that began in January 2024. We work on developing a #systembased #EnvironmentalRiskAssessment (ERA).
Our goal number 4: Assess chemical risks by developing effect-based approaches considering mixture effects.

🌿 How do plant protection products affect #wildlife? ‪@‪ukceh.bsky.social are investigating this in Case Study 1A!

The illustration shows how we're researching the #CumulativeExposure of wildlife to #PlantProtectionProducts in agricultural systems.

#SYBERAC 's recently visited the #EbroDelta (Spain) to examine bats near rice paddy fields.

The Delta is home to a rich ecosystem of plants & animals.

By monitoring activities, SYBERAC develops system-based #EnvironmentalRiskAssessment solutions, balancing sustainable agriculture and biodiversity.

Topics:
🦇 Our #bat #fieldwork in Ebro Delta, incl. video
🐦 Insights into how #pesticides affect #bird behaviour
🌐 Project meeting in Barcelona
🤝 Recap of recent workshops
