Dr. Harald Auge

Forschungsschwerpunkte

Ich arbeite auf den Gebieten der Populationsbiologie und der Vegetationsökologie und nutze Experimente, um zu erforschen, welche Rolle die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Arten für die Reaktion von Ökosystemen auf verschiedene Triebkräfte des globalen Wandels (Klimawandel, Landnutzung, biologische Invasionen) spielen.

• Der Einfluss des Klimawandels und der Landnutzung auf Arten-Interaktionen und Ökosystemprozesse

• Bedeutung antagonistischer Interaktionen für die Koexistenz von Pflanzenarten, Pflanzen-Invasionen und das Funktionieren von Ökosystemen

• Die Vernüpfung zwischen ober- und unterirdischen Prozessen: der Einfluss von Baum- und Streudiversität auf Ökosystemfunktionen
