Vegetation Ecology/Geobotany
The sub-department "Vegetation Ecology/Geobotany" of Ecology deals with ecosystem interrelationships in the field. Based on natural or anthropogenically modified vegetation and selected site factors, changes in the landscape, water bodies or near-surface groundwater are investigated. An important aspect is the input of nutrients. Another focus is the investigation of the long-term effects of renaturation measures in a Northwest German floodplain landscape.
Research topics
- Nutrient inputs and translocation of primarily nutrient-poor ecosystems.
- Dynamic processes in predominantly sand-dominated floodplain landscapes.
- Field studies and experiments on flowing waters and in an experimental channel on site conditions of aquatic macrophytes.
Model systems
- Renaturalised sections of the floodplain of the lowland river "Hase" in Emsland
- "Heiliges Meer" nature reserve
- Teneriffa
Methods
- Vegetation survey
- Recording of site factors
- Analysis of ground and surface water
- Soil analysis
