Ecosystem Modelling

Arrow left Back to the working groups of the research area

The working group deals with point- and grid-based simulations with respect to topics like food security, climate protection and resource management. A focus lies on the numerous process interactions between soil and plants in managed agricultural systems and the effects their representation in models has on simulations. The working group builds on existing process-based agroecosystem, forest ecosystem and hydrological models, which form the core of future model development. Model improvement will focus on the reduction of uncertainties associated with model structure and parameters as well as on the expansion of the represented processes. To this end, the working group cooperates with different national and international networks and projects, such as e.g. MACSUR and AgMIP.
