The Grassland Sciences Group
Process and system understanding of the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems and their provisioning 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, plant and ecosystem physiology, including functional plant diversity, and ecosystem biogeochemistry, in particular, biosphere-atmosphere greenhouse gas exchange and carbon sequestration.
In our group, led by Prof. Dr. Nina Buchmann, we use classical ecological methods and further develop innovative tools, such as stable isotope applications and micrometeorological measurements of trace gases, in our observational and experimental studies.
