Agroforum Mare Balticum 2016 : conference proceedings : 19th - 21st April 2016, Tartu, Estonia
(Estonian University of Life Sciences, 2016) Estonian University of Life Sciences; Vollmer, Elis (editor)
The annual international agricultural forum Agroforum Mare Balticum will be held, already for the fourth time now, in Tartu, Estonia. The conference is an important meeting point for the agricultural sector’s politicians and entrepreneurs, and research institutions from the Baltic sea countries and the Eastern Partnership countries, as well as global organisations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the European Commission and the Council of the Baltic Sea States. This multilevel meeting enables us to use and transfer the best available knowledge at all levels and from all geographical spheres, to discuss and find solutions to the significant challenges faced by the agricultural sector today. The main focus of this year’s forum is environmentally smart agriculture. While globally climate smart actions are being discussed, we felt that there is a need to take this concept even further and discuss the future of agriculture, taken into account the state of our environment as a whole, not just the sector’s resilience to changing climatic conditions. Society’s health depends on the quality of the food, and the highest quality food can be produced only by working in concordance with natural processes, ensuring healthy soils, sustainable water management, reasonable use of pesticides and use of other agricultural chemicals, and so on. The best quality production can be achieved using innovative solutions but also by looking far into the future when making production decisions. 2 This year’s presentations will focus on a variety of topics, ranging from the importance of innovations in agriculture and the possibilities for sustainable intensification, all the way to resilience to disease epidemics in animal husbandry and biodiversity dynamics in agriculture. For the first time we will also publish the conference proceedings, to help further spread the ideas discussed at the forum. I hope the conference will encourage you to think further about the important role agriculture plays in our world, not just as a means of producing healthy food, but also as a biodiversity caretaker and driving force in the development of rural areas.

(2017) Kuht, Jaan; Eremeev, Viacheslav; Talgre, Liina; Madsen, Helena; Toom, Merili; Mäeorg, Erkki; Loit, Evelin; Luik, Anne; Estonian University of Life Sciences
In 2008 an experiment was set up on the field in Eerika experimental station (Estonian University of Life Sciences) as a 5-field crop rotation: barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with undersown red clover, red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), pea (Pisum sativum L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The objective of the study was to measure the content of weed seeds in the soil and to evaluate the diversity of the species at the beginning of the period of organic production in 2011. In conventional farming systems without fertilizer (Con I) and conventional farming with mineral fertilizer (Con II) herbicides were used for weed control. All the crops in Con II system received P 25 kg ha-1 and K 95 kg ha-1 , but the application rates of mineral nitrogen fertilizer differed. In organic systems (Org I – organic farming based on winter cover crop and Org II – organic farming based on winter cover crop and manure), the winter cover crops (ryegrass after winter wheat, winter oilseed rape after pea, winter rye after potato) were sown after the harvest and were ploughed into the soil as green manure in spring. Organic farming systems (Org II) had a negative effect on the content of weed seeds in the soil (2.0–22.7% less seeds than in other variants). The seeds of Chenopodium album were the most abundant among summer annual weeds and the seeds of Viola arvensis among winter weeds in the soil. Organic farming measures increased the domination of Chenopodium album – the dominance index D’ was increased by 0.09–0.14 compared to conventional variants. The content of seeds of winter weed Viola arvensis in Org II variant was decreased by 82%. The index of species evenness J’ and Shannon Wiener diversity index H’ were lower in organic plots by 0.10– 0.18 and 0.60–0.19, respectively. Org II variants showed the best results based on the decrease of soil weed seed bank and distribution of the weed species.

The effect of sowing date on cover crop biomass and nitrogen accumulation
(2019) Toom, Merili; Talgre, Liina; Pechter, Priit; Narits, Lea; Tamm, Sirje; Lauringson, Enn; Estonian University of Life Sciences
Cover crops are important tools for reducing nitrogen (N) leaching from the soil and improving the nutrition of cash crops. In northern regions with short autumns it is important to maximise the growing season of cover crops to achieve sufficient biomass and N accumulation. The objective of the study was to evaluate the biomass and N accumulation of cover crops at different sowing dates in August. Field experiment at Estonian Crop Research Institute was conducted in 2017 and 2018 with white mustard (Sinapis alba L.), phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia Benth), buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench), berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.), field pea (Pisum sativum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.). Cover crops were sown on August 3, 8, 14 and 18 in 2017 and August 3, 8, 13, 17 and 23 in 2018. The two year experiment showed that biomass and N accumulation of cover crops were reduced with delayed sowings, but the reduction mainly depended on cover crop species. White mustard, field pea and faba bean accumulated significantly higher amount of biomass and N than phacelia, buckwheat and berseem clover at all sowing dates in both years. Because of a rapid decrease in biomass, the optimum sowing time for phacelia and buckwheat should not be later than middle of August. In both year berseem clover produced the modest amount of biomass and therefore more suited as spring sown cover crop in Estonian conditions.
Environmental adaptation: from molecules to the planet : the Estonian Centre of Excellence in Environmental Adaptation ENVIRON. Final conference : October 1-3, 2015, Dorpat Conference Centre, Tartu, Estonia : abstract book
(Eesti Maaülikool, 2015) Estonian University of Life Sciences; Ostonen, Ivika (editor); Kurvits, Tiia (editor)
Ecosystems have a large capacity to adapt to environmental perturbations, but so far, most of the future projections of global change ignore the adaptation responses. The Center of Excellence (CoE) of Environmental Adaptation (ENVIRON) was launched in August 2011 for a period of almost five years to study mechanisms of environmental adaptation from molecular to global scales, and feedbacks between plant and ecosystem adaptation and climate change. The CoE encompasses five teams from three Estonian universities: Plant physiology and biosphere-atmosphere interactions (Prof. Ülo Niinemets, Estonian University of Life Sciences), Plant signals (Dr. Hannes Kollist, University of Tartu), Plant-pathogen interactions (Prof. Erkki Truve, Tallinn Technical University), Plant ecophysiology (Dr. Anu Sõber, University of Tartu) and Landscape ecology and ecotechnology (Prof. Ülo Mander). ENVIRON currently involves altogether 55 senior staff members and 50 PhD students, and has developed excellent field and laboratory setups to gain insight into the influences of stress on plants and ecosystems, including SMEAR Estonia and FAHM, the free air humidification facility. Interdisciplinary experimental and modeling approaches have been used to scale from molecular stress response mechanisms to ecosystem adaptation by analyzing abiotic and biotic stress effects at phenotypic, physiological and molecular levels, and determining the limits of adaptation to multiple sequential and interacting stresses. The key tasks of the ENVIRON were:  studying the molecular mechanisms of key abiotic and biotic stress sensing and downstream signaling leading to adaptation in several classical model systems in controlled conditions, e.g., Arabidopsis, Triticum and Populus;  characterizing the mechanisms of stress elicitation and synergistic and antagonistic effects of multiple stressors at ecosystem level and concomitant modifications in trace-gas emission patterns, carbon, nitrogen and water balance, carbon sequestration and vegetation capacity to alter atmospheric quality, transmissivity and cloud formation;  studying changes in the gene expression patterns and of the population genetic structure to gain insight into local adaptations associated with modifications in genotype frequency under different long-term stresses;  characterizing the role of the phylogenetic, structural and functional structure of soil microbial community (soil metagenome) in determining the adaptive capacity of soil microbial community and the effects of these key microbial community characteristics on biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen;  simulating the effects of soil-vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks at ecosystem, regional and biome scales. 4 As the keynote talks and poster presentations at this conference demonstrate, ENVIRON has made major progress in all these directions and contributed to the training of a new generation of scientists who will keep working at the most exciting question: How does the biosphere adapt to climate change? Apart from the excellence in basic science, the consortium has importantly contributed to development of the Estonian National Adaptation Strategy for Climate Change that will serve as a foundation for sustainable management of natural resources of Estonia. Hereby I welcome the participants of the final conference of ENVIRON and hope that the next three days will bring lots of stimulating presentations and insightful discussions. It has been a pleasure and privilege to lead ENVIRON and witness the hard work of its members that have guaranteed the success of the consortium in addressing its research agenda. Wishing you an excellent conference! Ülo Niinemets Head of the Centre ENVIRON
Forest landscape mosaics: disturbance, restoration and management at times of global change : [international conference], 11-14 August 2014 Tartu, Estonia : book of abstracts

The nature which surrounds us plays a central role in our existence. This is difficult to comprehend, as usually we place ourselves at the center of human existence. If we think of humans as a part of nature, then the environment will be equally important and central (the Estonian word “keskkond” for environment refers to the “center of being”). Ecology has typically focused on pristine systems free from human interference. However, as human influence has become ever more pervasive, there is a growing need for theory to address less than pristine systems. A major question then for ecologists and land managers is the degree of naturalness of a system. Although in the past forestry focused on production of a few commodities, the threat of global environmental change demands that we adopt a new paradigm of forest management that combines past knowledge with innovative management planning strategies that consider a full range of projected ecosystem responses, and resilience to unanticipated factors. It is our great pleasure to host the conference Forest landscape mosaics: disturbance, restoration and management at times of global change, August 11–14, 2014. This meeting brings together scientists, practitioners, policymakers and other experts to share experiences with disturbance management, and evaluate past, present and future application and implementation of research findings from the scientific community. The initiative comes from two working groups of EFINORD/SNS: the network of Natural Disturbance Dynamics Analysis for Forest Ecosystem Management (FORDISMAN) and the Nordic Working Group on the Ecology of Primeval Boreal Forests (PRIFOR). Two major organizations, IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research Organizations) and IAVS (International Association for Vegetation Science) create the main stage for the event. Sponsors supporting the meeting are gratefully acknowledged. The meeting venue is Tartu, second largest city in Estonia and the center of university and science life in this country. The academic atmosphere of this town supports the constructive discussions and research environment needed for people to better understand the relations between humans and nature. The Estonian hemiboreal forest is a unique example of co-existence of people and trees: balanced management and conservation is our planned future. We expect that good colleagues from all around the World will enjoy an interesting program, exciting excursions and social events. Kalev Jõgiste Chairman of the Organizing Committee
Improving administrative effectiveness of lake management in the frames of River Basin Management Plans : Implementation Plan

Fresh waters make only 3% of the global water resources. Freshwater lakes, including reservoirs and ponds, are important elements for communities and their relevance is increasing. Lake ecosystems and their catchments have provided several societally valuable benefits and ecosystem services like shelter, drinking water, bathing water, food, a means of travel and wealth in a number of ways and allowed whole cultures to develop. Lakes have values associated with well-being and relaxation, their proximity has catalyzed rural development and been important in the regional socio-economic development. Lake districts are often very popular destinations for domestic and foreign tourism and visitors. Eutrophication and its ecological consequences, pollution, over abstraction and invasive species are serious threats and increase the need for restoration and management to prevent the potential adverse economic and social impacts. There is increasing evidence that lakes are affected by climate change. Lake management is for these reasons an important part of sustainable regional development as set by Lisbon and Gothenburg agreements. However, the most significant piece of legislation in response to the increasing threat of pollution and the increasing demand from the public for cleaner lakes, rivers and beaches and freshwater biodiversity, is the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). This Directive is unique in that it sets out an established framework for the protection of all water bodies (including lakes) and for all EU member states to achieve good water ecological status by December 2015. This objective is likely to be achieved in slightly over half (53 %) of EU waters (A blueprint…, 2013) and, therefore, more effort need to be scheduled for the following 6-year periods of WFD. The economic values of attractive, clean lakes are well established. There is a rising appreciation of good quality lakes across Europe. More intensive lake protection through sharing good practices with European lake managers and the regional influencing bodies is critical if we want to improve the current quality of lakes in Europe and to build long term capacity for sustainable use of lakes.

About the European Co-operation in Science and Technology. The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) is the oldest and widest European intergovernmental network for cooperation in research. Established by the Ministerial Conference in November 1971, COST is presently used by more than 30,000 scientists of 35 European countries to cooperate in common research projects supported by national funds. The financial support for cooperation networks (COST Actions) provided by COST is about 1.5% (30 million EUR per year) of the total value of the projects (2,000 million EUR per year). The main characteristics of COST are: bottom up approach (the initiative of launching a COST Action comes from the European scientists themselves); à la carte participation (only countries interested in the Action participate); equality of access (participation is also open to the scientific communities of countries which do not belong to the European Union) and flexible structure (easy implementation and management of the research initiatives). As aprecursor of advanced multidisciplinary research, COST has a very important role in shaping the European Research Area (ERA). It anticipates and complements the activities of the current Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020). COST activities create a bridge between the scientific communities of countries and increases the mobility of researchers across Europe in many key scientific domains.
