SPP 1374 Supbproject - Relating isotopic signals, nutrient concentrations and fibre contents of grassland biomass to biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and land-use intensity using multi-temporal data generated with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) (BioComp)
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted outside University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 09/02/2011 - 08/01/2014 | 2nd Funding period
Description
The Working Group Ecosystem Research participates as the contributing project BioComp in the Biodiversity Exploratories, a German Science Foundation (DFG) funded research project. BioComp II (2011-2014) investigates compositional features of grassland community biomass and explores relationships to diversity patterns, ecosystem processes and differences in land-use. In the current project phase, we will add prediction models of biomass δ15N and δ13C and use all these calibrations to generate a unique five year data set of various compositional features of aboveground biomass of all 150 experimental plots in grasslands.
