Jannis Groh (Scientist, PB1, AG Hydropedology) successfully defended his PhD-thesis entitled High precision lysimeters improve our understanding of water cycle and solute transport dynamics at the Agricultural Faculty of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University, Bonn, on October 29, 2018.
In his thesis, he worked , how to use data of high-prcision weighing
lysimeters to obtain better insight in dynamic hydrological processes and of
the water and element balances in the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The
results of his analyses and methodological developments are an important
basis for long-term soil landscape research at ZALF and for continuing
collaboration within the Germany-wide TERENO-SoilCan lysimeter-network of
the Helmholtz Association.
He carried out his PhD work at the Research Center Jülich (IBG-3,
Agrosphere); his thesis was supervised by Dr. Thomas Pütz, Prof. Dr. Jan
Vanderborght und Prof. Dr. Harry Vereecken.
