Past and Present Projects

Giessen Thermo-FACE (2013-dato)

For the first time a Free Air CO₂ Enrichment is combined with a direct air warming to +2°C above ambient. Therefore, a new technique has been developed with air heating elements positioned in a ring construction with a diameter of 4.3 m that are controlled by wind direction and wind speed. In 2013 the investigation of the soil conditions, plant community and greenhouse gas fluxes of 15 circular plots started. In 2014 a long list of sensors was installed in the plots and the installation of the Thermo-FACE facility began. There are three repetitions of the treatments 1) air heating and ambient CO₂, 2) air heating and CO₂ enrichment, 3) ambient air temperature and CO₂ enrichment, 4) ambient air temperature and ambient CO₂ with the ring construction, 5) ambient air temperature and ambient CO₂ without the ring construction. Since 2017 test runs of the air temperature heating +2°C and the +20% CO₂ enrichment started and were used to increase the systems performance. 2018 is the first year where all treatments and rings are active during the entire vegetation growth period.

FACE2FACE (2013-2017)

The cooperation of the Giessen FACE facility in a permanent temperate grassland, which is active since 1998 including the construction of a new Thermo-FACE nearby and two new FACE facilities for wine and vegetable at the Geisenheim University forms a Hessian research cluster called FACE2FACE focusing on climate change effects in agroecosystems. Coordinating and contributing to the research proposal and the planning of the field instrumentation, I am associated to the subproject A1 – Influence of elevated CO₂ and temperature on trace gas emissions. Additionally I am interested in belowground root dynamics and its role on C and N fluxes of the grassland ecosystem.

15N-FACE: The effect of elevated atmospheric CO₂ concentration on growth nitrogen transformations, plant N-uptake at microbial community dynamics in a permanent grassland. (2013-2016)

To predict ecosystem reactions to elevated atmospheric CO₂ (eCO₂) it is essential to understand the interactions between plant carbon input, microbial community composition and activity and associated nutrient dynamics. The overall goal of this 15N-FACE study is to understand the long-term effects of eCO₂ and carbon input on microbial community composition and activity as well as the associated nitrogen dynamics, N₂O production and plant N uptake in the Giessen FACE study on permanent grassland. A combination of ¹³CO₂ pulse labelling with ¹⁵N tracing of ¹⁵NH₄⁺ and ¹⁵NO₃^- will be carried out in situ. Gross N transformation rates, pool size dependent N₂O and N₂ emissions as well as N species dependent plant N uptake rates and the origin of the CO₂ respiration will be quantified. Microbial analyses associated with the turnover of NH₄⁺, NO₃^-, N₂O and N₂, based on mRNA are employed to comparably evaluate the long-term effects of eCO₂ on the structure and abundance of these communities, while transcripts of these genes will be used to target the fractions of the communities which actively contribute to N transformations.

Sulawesi Throughfall Displacement Experiment (2006-2009)

In the "Sulawesi Throughfall Displacement Experiment" I coordinated on the one hand the setup of each three control and desiccation plots, including the construction and maintenance of each three subcanopy desiccation roofs in a primary rainforest (40 x 40 m) and a cacao agroforest (35 x 40 m) to simulated ENSO-related drought periods. On the other hand I coordinate the investigations of six research groups, all part of the interdisciplinary DFG research cluster "Stability of Rainforest Margins in Indonesia - STORMA" , studying the soil water pool, nutrient availability, litter decay and soil respiration, and physiological drought effects on trees (e.g. xylem flux and water potential), reactions in carbon allocation and above- and belowground primary production. My own scientific interest focused on the drought effects on vitality and activity of tree fine roots in natural forest and agroforestry systems (Subproject C4).

Functionality in a Tropical Mountain Rainforest (2003-2006)

Within the DFG Research Unit 402 "Functionality in a Tropical Mountain Rainforest" I studied the elevation effects on key processes of carbon cycling in South Ecuadorian mountain forests during my PhD-research in a unique mountain rainforest in the Podocarpus National Park and the adjacent Reserva Biológica San Francisco. Based on the results a fertilization experiment started in 2007 to differentiate the effects of elevation, temperature and soil moisture from limitations in nutrient availability (Research Unit 812).
