Figure: The photo shows a green meadow where a herd of natural cattle is grazing.

The aim is to research the impact of ecosystem biodiversity on functionality and material cycles, in particular the carbon cycle and carbon storage in soils. To this end, data on the following parameters are to be obtained:

  • Concentration of water-soluble organic carbon
  • Chemical composition of water-soluble organic carbon
  • Sorptivity of water-soluble organic carbon
  • Biodegradability of the water-soluble organic carbon

Cooperations are projects financed by the cooperation partners’ own funds and thus financially independent of the DFG-funded infrastructure priority program ‟Biodiversity Exploratories (BE)”. They complement the BE with further interesting research content on biodiversity research and in return benefit from the infrastructure of the Biodiversity Exploratories.
