Two main research topics of the team are:
- Diversity patterns in ecosystems, and on the underlying biological interactions, with particular focus on two groups of organisms: plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.
- Plant and fungal diversity and assembly rules are investigated in forest and grassland ecosystems under different land use regimes.
