Description

Life on Earth evolves under continuously changing environmental conditions. Changes in climate, the atmosphere, geo-morphology, ocean currents, hydrology, soils, habitats: they all may affect the functioning of ecosystems and the diversity of organisms they sustain. To enable a sustainable management of the system called Earth, a thorough understanding of the functioning of ecosystems and their response to natural and human-induced changes is needed. The Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) meets this challenge through a joint effort of scientists with expertise in biology, physical geography, environmental chemistry and mathematical modelling.
