The Jena Experiment

Our group's collaboration to this large scale long-term field biodiversity experiment focuses mainly on:

• mechanisms behind overall diversity effects by studying individual plant species and plant functional types
• the effect of management and diversity on productivity and forage quality
• soil trace gas fluxes
• plant source water
• plant-microbial competition for soil aminoacids
• interactive effects of biodiversity, climate change and management on biogeochemistry
• controls of plant biodiversity on water flux partitioning
