Beta diversity Experiment

Goal: The aim of the project is to bridge the gap between small-scale biodiversity experiments and larger-scale biodiversity loss, by investigating how beta diversity, i.e. the spatial turnover in the composition of plant communities, drives biomass production and other ecosystem functions. In particular, we look at the role that soil pathogens have in the underlying effects of plant beta diversity and ecosystem functioning.
