Research Groups
Global Change Ecology and Macroecology
Prof Dr Christian Hof and his team are investigating patterns of taxonomic and functional biodiversity and the underlying processes at different temporal and spatial scales, species responses to changing environments and potential futures of biodiversity under different climate and land-use scenarios.
Above-belowground Interaction Ecology
The team led by Prof Dr Malte Jochum is investigating the effects of global change on multitrophic, above- and below-ground communities, altered interaction networks and the multifunctionality of ecosystems - typically in temperate grasslands and forests, but also in boreal and tropical regions and in aquatic ecosystems.
