Project code: DFG SFB 552
Contract period: 01.01.2000 - 01.01.2011
Purpose of research: Basic research

With the general aim of documenting and interpreting the spatial variability of plant diversity and composition in relation to environmental factors (elevation, soil, topography, climate) and land use in the study region, we will (a) gather tree data across the elevational gradient from 200 m to 2500 m as a basis for forest biodiversity and structure modelling in the scope of focus 1, (b) inventory tree diversity in the plots of foci 2 and 3, at the Bariri tower site, and around Lake Lindu as essential baseground data for other subprojects, (c) study the terrestrial herb vegetation in the framework of foci 1 and 2, and (d) study the taxonomy, distribution and ecology of rattans in the study region.
