Long-term effects of invasive species in novel communities (InDyNet)

Invasion biology has addressed or even solved several key questions about biological invasions, but the central issue of long-term effects of invasive species has remained critically unexplored. Several case studies exist about long-term population dynamics of invasive species and their impacts, but a general synthesis or understanding is currently lacking. This knowledge gap is critical, as long-term shifts in invader population densities and traits are likely and may have large consequences of ecological and economic interest. This project aims to narrow the knowledge gap.

(Dept. 5) Evolutionary and Integrative Ecology

GLANCE

Climate change affects not only air temperature and precipitation, but also our streams and rivers: water temperature is rising, river flow characteristics are changing, oxygen concentration is sinking, while nutrient concentrations increase. This is not without consequence for the plants and animals living in freshwaters.

Transport and Mixing at River Confluences

Das Forschungsprojekt will das Wissen über Durchmischung und den Transport von Substanzen in den Flußmündungen bzw. flußabwärts fundamental verbessern und es wird grundlegende theoretische Erkenntnisse über die kontrollierenden Faktoren der Mischprozesse liefern.
