“…Building interdisciplinary research teams to combine sciences and methods generates the new knowledge needed to address complex issues (Kotchen and Young, 2007;Hufnagl-Eichiner et al, 2011;Jahn et al, 2012;Repko, 2012). Our team assessed social, biophysical, and engineering dimensions of nutrient management in two Illinois watersheds.…”

Reducing nitrate loads from corn and soybean, tile-drained, agricultural production systems in the Upper Mississippi River basin is a major challenge that has not been met. We evaluated a range of possible management practices from biophysical and social science perspectives that could reduce nitrate losses from tile-drained fields in the Upper Salt Fork and Embarras River watersheds of east-central Illinois. Long-term water quality monitoring on these watersheds showed that nitrate losses averaged 30.6 and 23.0 kg nitrate N ha -1 yr -1 (Embarras and Upper Salt Fork watersheds, respectively), with maximum nitrate concentrations between 14 and 18 mg N L -1 . With a series of on-farm studies, we conducted tile monitoring to evaluate several possible nitrate reduction conservation practices. Fertilizer timing and cover crops reduced nitrate losses (30% reduction in a year with large nitrate losses), whereas drainage water management on one tile system demonstrated the problems with possible retrofit designs (water flowed laterally from the drainage water management tile to the free drainage system nearby). Tile woodchip bioreactors had good nitrate removal in 2012 (80% nitrate reduction), and wetlands had previously been shown to remove nitrate (45% reductions) in the Embarras watershed. Interviews and surveys indicated strong environmental concern and stewardship ethics among landowners and farmers, but the many financial and operational constraints that they operate under limited their willingness to adopt conservation practices that targeted nitrate reduction. Under the policy and production systems currently in place, large-scale reductions in nitrate losses from watersheds such as these in east-central Illinois will be difficult.

“…Das Programm ist angelehnt an die vom Wissenschaftlichen Beirat der Bundesregierung Globale Umweltveränderungen (WBGU) entwickelte Unterscheidung von "Transformationsforschung" und "transformativer Forschung" (WBGU 2011) und wurde -aufbauend auf einer Vorarbeit (Schneidewind 2009) -erstmals 2013 in die Diskussion gebracht (Schneidewind und Singer-Brodowski 2014). Es stützt sich auf etablierte Stränge der Wissenschaftsdebatte der letzten Jahrzehnte wie die Arbeiten zur Transdisziplinarität (Scholz 2011, Bergmann et al 2010, Jahn et al 2012), Aktions-und Interventionsforschung und eine Modus-2-Forschung (Nowotny et al 2001). Außerdem berücksichtigt es Bausteine wie Reallabore (siehe etwa Wagner und Grunwald 2015)oder die zivilgesellschaftliche Beteiligung an Wissenschaft.…”

“…Transdisciplinary research is an approach that has been related to finding solutions to real world problems and is seen as a structured and intensive exchange of academic and societal actors as a further constitutive element [15,16,17]. Transdisciplinarity then calls for participatory procedures involving scientists, stakeholders, advocates, active citizens, and users of knowledge.…”

Abstract:The term disciplinarity seems not to have a commonly accepted definition but it relates to a specific field of academic study. Disciplinary is an adjective related to the branch of learning or knowledge. When talking about a discipline, it is not merely a body of knowledge but also a set of practices by which the knowledge is acquired, confirmed, implemented, preserved, and reproduced. Post (2009) argues that questions of disciplinarity seek criteria for validating the "eccentric" angle of vision of a particular "intellectual" community in terms of its methodology, subject matter, curriculum or its shared purpose. The discussion in this essay focuses on transdisciplinarity and information systems
