Soil Science of Tropical and Subtropical Ecosystems
Institution
Section overview
Description
Our goal is to investigate how biogeochemical processes in natural and managed (forest and agricultural) tropical ecosystems are affected by 'global change' processes: changes in temperature and rainfall regime, increased N deposition, and land use changes.
Activities
- Research
Parent institution
Coordinated projects
- Modifications of processes of the trace gas transport along transects by small clear-cuttings of spruce forests (application package Beese / Gravenhorst / Meiwes)
- Quantification of the nitrogen cycle in the soil to evaluate the nitrogen status of tropical forests
- SFB 552: B6 - Carbon dioxide production in soils under cacao agroforestry and natural forests: effects of drought and landscape variability
- Soil water controls on nitrogen oxide fluxes and N2O production and consumption along a rainfall gradient of tropical forests
- Sustainable intensification of agriculture through agroforestry, Subproject A
