SFB 552: Stability of Rainforest Margins in Indonesia (STORMA)
The multidisciplinary Indonesian-German research programme 'Stability of Rainforest Margins in Indonesia' (STORMA) focuses on integrated concepts of sustainable land use stabilizing rainforest margins, which has been identified as a critical factor in the protection of tropical forests.
