Wir entwickeln Modelle, um den Zusammenhang zwischen Klimawandel, biologischer Vielfalt und Ökosystemfunktionen in der Vergangenheit sowie in der Zukunft und auf lokalen sowie auf globalen Skalen zu untersuchen.
My main research interest is to understand the distribution of life on earth (e.g. species, biodiversity, vegetation types, ecosystems) through space and time. I am particularly interested in interactions between climate and the terrestrial biosphere. This includes potential impacts of climate change on species, ecosystems and associated ecosystem services, as well as the role of the biosphere in the earth climate system (e.g. carbon and water cycling). Methodologically, vegetation and ecosystem modelling at local to global scales has been at the core of my work.
