      <image:title>Outreach - How do oases in the city make you feel?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Alongside our crowdsourcing campaign around where oases are in the city fo Munich residents, we are also looking to get more information about what makes these places valuable to people — especially given the impacts of urban heat. We have surveys distributed across the city where we ask passerby’s to take a minute to feel, think and reflect on how the green space may positively promote dimensions of their wellbeing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Outreach - Agriculture on Tap</image:title>
      <image:caption>Together with the Hans Eisenmann-Forum für Agrarwissenschaften we started a new lecture series. Here, we meet speakers from various fields of agricultural and environmental sciences for inspiring talks and lively discussion. We meet in a casual atmosphere in Freising to discuss scientific topics, and also livestream the events for those at home. Learn more about upcoming events and register online for events here Look forward to seeing you at Furtnerbräu, or online!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Outreach - Safari Freising</image:title>
      <image:caption>The TUM "Urban Ecosystems Group" in cooperation with the StadtNatur of the Bund Naturschutz Freising starts a new format for exchanging urban ecology topics beyond the "campus bubble" with all interested. The "Walk &amp; Talk" series explores the urban fauna of Freising - questions and ideas can be discussed at any time along the way. Afterwards, we will have the opportunity to deepen both over a cozy evening drink in the old town.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Biodiversity in urban ecosystems</image:title>
      <image:caption>Functional ecology of urban arthropods. A functional ecological understanding of urban insect communities is of growing importance especially in regard to biodiversity conservation, ecosystem service maintenance and effective conservation programs. We work in the growing field of urban insect functional ecology. We conduct functional trait-based research on insects in urban ecosystems to ask which species traits relate to ecosystem services like pest control and pollination, and to evaluate trait–environment relationships. Current projects use urban community gardens as a model system to study wild pollinators and pollination services. In many German cities, urban agriculture is increasingly popular and some cities have recently implemented pollinator conservation policy. We are asking: how does management, urbanization, and climate variability affect wild bee diversity, pollination function, and their relationships? This work involves a citizen science platform to measure pollination and to broaden participation of residents in urban ecology research.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Human dimensions of urban agriculture and urban ecosystems</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is important to study and understand people’s management decisions, perceptions and values — particularly in the human-centered environment of cities. We study how people manage urban agroecosystems, values around urban agriculture and urban green spaces, and the wellbeing benefits derived from urban agriculture and green spaces. All of these factors influence the ecology and sustainability of urban agroecosystems and of the ecosystem service provision of urban green spaces. Current projects involve understanding how urban agriculture can be a combined public health strategy and nature-based solution, and how urban green spaces promote human health and wellbeing, particularly in the context of urban heat and the vegetation complexity of urban parks.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Landscape &amp; resource management</image:title>
      <image:caption>Urban productive ecosystems are important components of the green infrastructure of cities. We must understand how to manage them from both a landscape-scale perspective, and from a local habitat perspective. Current projects ask how we can better understand and manage socio-ecological connectivity across landscapes. Work in spatial landscape ecology assesses landscape-scale structural and functional connectivity of urban ecosystems in relation to ecosystem services. We use gardens as model social-ecological systems to show how these systems promote landscape-scale ecosystem service flows through socio-ecological connectivity. We show that the nature of these flows (e.g., magnitude, direction) change with landscape biophysical and social heterogeneity - and this is very city-specific. This may have important implications for how people benefit from ecosystem services. The methods and findings we use aim to be harnessed by local stakeholders to make informed land use planning decisions to promote urban ecosystem services and build urban resilience at a landscape scale.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Toxic plants in urban gardens</image:title>

We conclude that poisonous plants should be managed to dually mitigate health risks while supporting biodiversity conservation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Research - Urban beekeeping: a modern Gordian Knot</image:title>
      <image:caption>Urban beekeeping is an increasingly popular activity with many social benefits. Yet honeybees present risks to wild pollinators, creating a complex problem for policy and researcher. We argue for scientifically evidenced urban pollinator strategies to enhance beekeeping’s benefits while protecting wild pollinators.</image:caption>

      <image:title>O- featured projects 2 - Wasps and Hornets in Urban Gardens</image:title>
      <image:caption>Urban community gardens are also home to a group of insects that many people passionately dislike and question their purpose. But is that a fair judgement? Or could wasps and hornets be a gardener´s best friend? We are investigating this question in 30 community gardens in Berlin and Munich by using information from the wasp nests. Our aim is to understand the ecological role of vespid wasps in gardens from a scientific point of view, but also to contribute to the social understanding of these misunderstood insects. For more info on the project visit our “Project” page.</image:caption>

      <image:title>O- featured projects 2 - Share with us how COVID-19 affected your relationship to gardening and urban food production</image:title>
      <image:caption>How has COVID-19 changed the way that you garden? Changed the meaning of your garden to you? We are distributing a survey worldwide to understand how COVID-19 is affecting gardeners and garden management. We are exploring what motivates gardeners during the pandemic, whether gardeners’ use of their gardens has changed, and what additional support would be beneficial for gardeners. Ultimately, this type of knowledge will help us to better prepare gardeners and green space management for future crises. Stay tuned for results!</image:caption>
