DIVA - The relationship between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Grassland Ecosystems
The BMBF-funded project 'The relationship between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Grassland Ecosystems' is a collaborative research effort of the Friedrich-Schiller-University and the Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry, both in Jena, and the Office for Ecological Studies in Bayreuth. Using grasslands in Thuringia as model ecosystems, the project is designed to investigate the relationship between genetic/phenotypic diversity and ecosystem processes such as carbon and nitrogen fluxes. Seven research groups in the areas of plant physiology, biogeochemistry, entomology, mathematical modelling, plant taxonomy, mycorrhizal biology, and landscape modelling will use experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the importance of biodiversity for the stability and functioning of ecosystems.
