Purpose of research: Basic research

Trade-offs between various landscape functions (e.g., economic and ecological measures) are of special interest in agricultural landscape research. The landscape ecological subproject within the SFB299 is therefore concerned with relations between land use and phytodiversity. In this context, we consider the spatio-temporal patterns of different land-use systems (cultivation, grassland, fallow) as well as abiotic site conditions and socio-economic variables; i.e. the most important driving forces of phytodiversity. The emphasis is laid on compositional aspects of phytodiversity and their measures (e.g. plant species richness, composition and abundance), but we consider structural and functional components of diversity as well.
