The collaborative research centre investigates,
- which structures and processes regulate the
initial phase of ecosystem development,
- which interactions exist between processes
and
abiotic and biotic structures, and
- which differences occur between processes and
structures of initial systems and mature ecosystems.
The central investigation site of the project is
the artificially created water catchment 'Chicken
Creek' ("Hühnerwasser") with a surface area of 6 ha left to an
undirected primary succession. |
