Soil Science of Tropical and Subtropical Ecosystems
Research Areas
Impact of global change processes (e.g. increase in nutrient deposition, land-use change, changes in temperature and rainfall regimes) on soil nutrient cycling processes and net primary production
Ecosystem functions of agroforestry
Carbon and nitrogen dynamics and nutrient fluxes in natural and agro-ecosystems
Soil-atmosphere exchange of trace gases (N2O, NO, CH4, CO2)
Canopy soil and epiphytes in tropical ecosystems: trace gas exchange and nitrogen cycling
Biogeochemistry of deeply weathered tropical soils
Interaction between vegetation species diversity, soil nutrient availability and nutrient cycling processes
