EcoHub aims to document and understand how ecosystems and biological communities are functioning and changing, as well as to disentangle the different interacting drivers, via the development of new knowledge, data, and methods through an integrated, multidisciplinary approach – All of which is key to the development of appropriate strategies for the effective conservation and restoration of biodiversity, to maintain desired ecosystem functions, and to sustain environmental health in a human-dominated world undergoing climatic changes.
Researchers from different subject areas collaborate. The main topics are:
- biology (e.g. genetics, microbiology, physiology, botany, zoology)
- ecology (e.g. vegetation ecology, wildlife ecology, conservation and management of natural resources)
- earth sciences (e.g. climatology, earth sciences, environmental sciences)
We use various research methods, including various field methods (monitoring, and sensor technology), laboratory methods (especially in genetics) and advanced statistical and modeling methods.
