Research project: subproject in the DFG Research Unit MultiTroph (FOR 5281):

The DFG-funded Research Unit MultiTroph (FOR 5281), set in SE China, is one of the largest forest Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning experiments worldwide. Within MultiTroph my project will focus on dead wood decomposition and saproxylic arthropods (species living and/or feeding in it, mainly ants, termites and beetles) – a process of major importance for carbon storage and nutrient cycling. I will try to disentangle the actual role of tree diversity on dead wood decomposition experimentally. I will assess richness and amount of dead wood, the diversity and abundance of saproxylic species, their functional traits and their direct effects as decomposers in dependence of wood traits.
