Effects of maternal undernutrition during pregnancy and postnatal high fat nutrition on preference for voluntary exercise versus eating: Relations between behavioural changes and endocrine and metabolic profiles (Project)

This research programme addresses fundamental principles underlying the aetiology of obesity and metabolic dysregulation, specifically the supply and cost of procuring both food and exercise, and the interplay with voluntary physical activity. These studies will increase the basic understanding of prenatal and postnatal environmental factors that influence lifestyle choices, a process of major...

Ecophysiological mechanisms controlling the balance between C3 and C4 species in grasslands, with emphasis on responses to nitrogen loading (Project)

Possessing the C3 or C4 mode of photosynthesis leads to intrinsic differences in plant carbon and nitrogen economies. Therefore, in grasslands and savannas where C3 and C4 species coexist, the C3/C4 balance strongly influences agronomic properties and biogeochemical cycles. Environmental and/or managerial changes affecting this balance hence hold important consequences for (agro)ecosystems...

Role of dissolved organic nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle of a mountainous forest ecosytem in Taiwan (Project)

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) plays a prominent role in the N cycle of forest soils under conditions of low N deposition and often represents the dominant form of N in solution. Little is known about the sources, properties, genesis and fate of DON, especially in subtropical forests under high precipitation regime. In field and laboratory studies we plan to investigate these issues in a...
