Projects

Through case studies we find out how exfiltration patterns of nutrients work and identify the relevant hydrobiological and biogeochemical mechanisms at the interface aquifer-lake.

Effects of terrestrial organic carbon inputs on food webs and resilience of shallow lakes

International graduate school on aquatic boundaries and linkages in a changing environment

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.

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

A supra-disciplinary training and research network to identify ecohydrological interfaces as critical hotspots for transformations of ecosystem exchange fluxes and biogeochemical cycling.

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.
