Welcome to the Grassland Sciences Group

 

Process- and system understanding of the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and their provision of ecosystem services requires a wide range of research disciplines. Based on such a multidisciplinary approach, the Grassland Sciences Group focuses on two major research areas, functional plant diversity and ecosystem biogeochemistry, in particular, biospheric-atmospheric green-house gas exchange.

 

In our group, we use classical ecological methods and further develop innovative tools, such as stable isotope analyses and micrometeorological measurements, in our observational and experimental studies

 

To address the complexity of interactions in terrestrial ecosystems
as well as their response to human and biophysical drivers, our research covers different spatial and temporal scales. »»
