Department of Terrestrial Ecology

Biological invasions, biodiversity loss or changing land use? The department of Terrestrial Ecology knows what that can do to plants and all other life forms below- and aboveground.

TE studies species, their interactions, and the consequences for community composition and ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems under global change.

Research is performed from an aboveground-belowground, multitrophic interactions perspective in order to understand how ecosystems function and develop under (human-induced) changes in climate and land use, and biological invasions. TE uses an empirical approach, both from ecological and evolutionary perspectives, to develop and test novel concepts and theories.

This fundamental knowledge contributes to sustainable management of terrestrial ecosystems with emphasis on nature restoration, biodiversity conservation, controlling invasions, and ecological-intensive agriculture.
