Picture: The photo shows an unmown meadow with an area marked with white tape. In the foreground are project leader Professor Anja Linstädter and PhD student Florian Männer, both wearing hats to protect them from the sun. Ms. Linstädter is holding a black flat box in her hands at waist level. Inside the box is a white reference plate over which Mr. Männer is holding a field spectrometer to calibrate it. In the background of the image is a fenced climate measurement station and a row of bushes and trees. Meadows and forests can be seen on the horizon

Picture: The photo shows the experimental garden of the Philipps University in Marburg, Germany, called "Common Garden". You can see swards with tall growing grasses in six rows of square sub-plots of fifty by fifty centimeters, where always two sub-plots are laid out next to each other. One row is thus one meter wide. Between the rows are paths. In the background are greenhouses, buildings and behind them a dense row of deciduous and coniferous trees under a sky covered with cumulus clouds

Picture: The photo shows a slightly hilly landscape in summer under a blue sky. In the front left of the picture there are high bushes, a tree and a field path that turns to the left further back. From the middle to the right to the edge of the picture there is a field with beige-coloured ears of grain. Behind the field there is a mown meadow with short green grass on a slightly rising hill. On the left of the meadow there is a fenced climate measuring station. On the right of the meadow there is an unmown experimental area with tall brown and green grass. Behind the meadow there is a dense row of deciduous trees running through the picture.
