SFB/TRR 38: Structures and processes of the initial ecosystem development phase in an artificial water catchment
The Transregional Collaborative Research Centre (SFB/TRR) 38 aims to investigate relevant structures and processes during the initial ecosystem development phase and their interactions, to differentiate them from those occurring in the later stages of ecosystem development.
