DFG Exploratories for large-scale and long-term functional biodiversity research - Germany

Basic Information
Site Name
DFG Exploratories for large-scale and long-term functional biodiversity research
Short name
DFG Biodiversity Exploratories
Country
Germany
Site Description
In the framework of an initiative to advance biodiversity research in Germany, we established three exemplary large-scale and long-term research sites (funded by the German Research Foundation). They are termed Biodiversity Exploratories, in contrast to mainly descriptive observatories. The exploratories sustain the scientific infrastructure to develop the intellectual framework needed to address critical questions about changes in biodiversity and to evaluate the impacts of those changes for ecosystem processes. Thus, in the exploratories biodiversity and ecosystem research will be merged at a large scale and with a long-term perspective.
