Projects

Effects of measures targeting reduction of nutrient intakes and changes in fish communities on re-establishment of charophyte meadows are tested over multiple years.

We have proudly hosted a number of researchers (interns, doctoral candidates, Postdocs) that came with their own funding. In the past we have hosted:

Groups of decision makers can integrate their independent informational states and outperform individuals (collective intelligence). However, the extent to which collective intelligence has been shaped by natural selection in response to ecological challenges is largely unknown.

We aim to unravel how C:nutrient ratios, polyphenol content and bacteria interact on macrophyte decomposition.

CLIMSHIFT aims for a mechanistic under-standing of stressor interactions acting on shallow aquatic systems, which are especially vulnerable to climate warming and agricultural run-off.

Feeding urban populations is a global challenge, additionally straining the Food-Water-Energy Nexus. CITYFOOD provides innovative solutions by integrating aqua-agriculture systems into cities.

Connectivity and synchronisation of lake ecosystems in space and time

Food web dynamics and energy transport from phyto- to zooplankton under the influence of parasitic fungi.
