SFB/TRR 32: Patterns in Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere Systems: monitoring, modelling and data assimilation (Collaborative project)

The soil, vegetation and the lower atmosphere are key compartments of the Earth, where almost all activities of mankind take place. This region is characterized by extremely complex patterns, structures and processes that act at different time and space scales. While the exchange of energy, water and carbon is continuous between the different compartments, the pertinent fluxes are strongly...

FOR 402: Functionality in a Tropical Mountain Rainforest: Diversity, Dynamic Processes and Utilization Potentials under Ecosystem Perspectives (Collaborative project)

The German research unit joins biologists, geoscientists, researchers in forestry and social anthropology in a multidisciplinary and comprehensive ecosystem study of a mountain rainforest in South Ecuador that extends from about 1200 to 3000 m a.s.l. In this area the pristine forest can be compared with several stages of its degradation originating from large- and small-scale human impact. In...

FOR 536: Matter fluxes in grasslands of the Xilin river watershed, Inner Mongolia as influenced by stocking rate (MAGIM) (Collaborative project)

Increasing stocking rate provoked extensive degradation of grasslands in Inner Mongolia accompanied by increased soil erosion and desertification. By now China is one of the countries facing the most serious desertification problems in the world. The total area affected by desertification is approximately 2.6 million km 2 , covering 27.3 % of total territory of China. Since grasslands represent...

FOR 409: Dynamics of water and materials in urban locations (Collaborative project)

Clarification of the dynamics of water and materials at urban locations with special consideration of the Spatial heterogeneity, the organic soil substance, and soil-biological transformation processes.

FOR 438: An Integrative Analysis of Mechanisms of Probiotic Action in Pigs (Collaborative project)

The aim of the research unit is to obtain a sophisticated picture of the complex functional mechanism by which selected probiotics affect both the intestinal tract and the entire host organism. The integration of several disciplines will enable us to investigate the reaction of the studied animals upon administered probiotics including alterations of the intestinal microbiota, the gut morphology...

FOR 546: (Collaborative project)

As primary producers of organic matter, plants constitute an attractiveVerticillium habitat for micro-organisms. Different types of interactions are described like killing of infected cells by necrotrophic fungi, exploitation of resources from living host cells by biotrophic pathogens, and symbiotic interactions which benefit both sides. The life style of the soil-borne, vascular fungal pathogen...
