The Research Group delves into the detailed analysis and quantification of C and N matter fluxes within climate- and/or use sensitive semi-natural ecosystems and with the adjacent compartments atmosphere/pedosphere and hydrosphere. Thereby an important contribution is made to an improved understanding of the system, which is a basic prerequisite for the evaluation of the impact of Global Change on the biosphere.
