We explore plant biodiversity and its role in the biogeochemical cycles

We study plant functional diversity and its role in biogeochemical cycles: how it is affected by climate variability and environmental change, and how it influences vegetation responses. To this end, we operate the TRY Plant Trait Database. The group is a collaboration between Max Planck Fellow Christian Wirth and the three departments of the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry.
