Maren Dubbert, a scientist at the Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), will be teaching as a private lecturer at the University of Bonn. She was reappointed at the Faculty of Agriculture there in the field of Agroecosystem Physiology. Her first courses are planned for the coming winter semester. At ZALF, she heads the “Ecosystem Physiology of Water and Matter fluxes” working group and various research projects.
Biologist Dr. habil. Maren Dubbert began her teaching career at the University of Bonn on May 14, 2025, with an inaugural lecture. The lecture was titled “Capturing dynamics in ecosystem water and matter fluxes: A decade of progress and challenges with a focus on isotope-enabled gas exchange.” In the future, she will contribute her expertise in plant ecophysiology, ecohydrology, and material and water cycles to the University of Bonn's curriculum.
In her postdoctoral thesis, she addressed the question of how water and carbon fluxes in ecosystems can be better measured and understood, particularly at the interfaces between soil, plants, and the atmosphere. Her thesis is titled “Quantifying and partitioning water and carbon cycling along the soil-plant-atmosphere interfaces using flux and stable isotope methods.”
Biologist Dr. habil. Maren Dubbert's research at ZALF focuses on the ecophysiology of plants, ecosystems and landscapes, terrestrial ecohydrology and isotope biogeochemistry and ecology.
At ZALF she heads research projects, like on the role of stable isotopes in ecohydrology (ISO-SCALE, CONFOR), and on vascular plant colonization in raised bogs (VESBO). She is also involved in other resarch projects, for example in a project on research into silicate and drought stress in plants (AID-CROP), on agroforestry (FORMULA), water use in Ghana (AQUATRANS) and joint projects such as Rhizo4Bio and WetNetBB.
