Overview of subprojects


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 El suministro de nutrientes como factor determinante de la producción de biomasa y de los flujos de agua acoplados del ecosistema en un gradiente climático y del uso del suelo



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.



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.
