Large-scale citizen science study on green-house gas concentration and microbial diversity in German inland waters

Hyporheic Zone Processes – A training network for enhancing the understanding of complex physical, chemical and biological process interactions

The main objective of this project is to identify the key-factors of organic matter turnover in inundated peatlands. Based on our findings we might improve our predictions regrading the restoration of degraded peatlands.

Our surface and groundwaters struggle with a variety of different pressures, like water shortage, flow regulation, straightening or sediment and nutrient loading. The project MARS analyses how the combination of these stressors impacts aquatic ecosystems and their functions.

Understanding the responses of carbon quality and quantity on carbon turn-over and  C assimilation in the microbial food web.

LandScales (Connecting processes and structures driving the landscape carbon dynamics over scales) integrated the aquatic and terrestrial perspectives of landscape carbon dynamics within a multidisciplinary collaborative research environment, by characterising structures, processes, and fluxes across scales.
