Professorship for Ecosystem Functioning and Services
Organisational unit: Professoship
Topics
Reseach focusses on grassland ecology and productivity with two key questions:
How interactions between plants (whether negative or positive) influence nutrient cycling and productivity, and how interactions between plants influence assembly and ecosystem functioning. Recently the reasearch focus has moved towards root-root interactions and the potential role of priority effects during assembly as a tool for ecosystem management and restorations.
