Projects

 


A - Group A


A1 - Changes of water and carbon fluxes in mountain wet and dry forests under environmental changes - observations, area-wide remote sensing and LSMAtmo.

A2 - From field scale eco-hydrological process understanding to landscape scale water fluxes.

A3 - Nutrient supply as driver of biomass production and associated ecosystem water fluxes along a land-use and climate gradient

A4 - Plant functional trait diversity, biotic interactions and ecosystem processes in nutrient- versus water-limited tropical mountain forests.

A5 - Innovative scenarios of land-use change - simulating shifts in land allocation under climate change at landscape and ecosystem scales.

B - Group B


B1 - Linking tree above- and belowground traits across gradients of elevation and climate in highly diverse tropical montane forests.

B2 - Tree physiological and structural properties as response and effect traits of biotic-atmospheric interactions in natural and anthropogenic eco-systems in South Ecuador.

B3 - Trait-dependent effects of abiotic and biotic filters on plant regeneration in mountain dry forest and mountain rain forest.

B4 - How abiotic drivers and trait diversity shape herbivory and other biotic processes with consequences for ecosystem functions across mountain ecosystems.
