Institute for Plant Ecology

We investigate the effects of different abiotic environmental factors (e.g., raised CO2, ozone, salt stress) on plant communities starting at the plant leave and the site to ecosystems level (professorship for experimental plant ecology) and ending in global cycles of C and N (professorship for geoecology and modelling). The applied methods range from biochemical, ecophysiological and microbiological lab investigations about field investigations (e.g., vegetation surveys, measurement of trace gas fluxes at site and ecosystem level) up to process oriented modelling and global models.
