Research Station
Environmental Monitoring and Climate Change Impact Research Station Linden
Funding Agency: Hessian State Agency for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology (HLNUG) // Duration: 2017 - 2029 // PI: Prof. Christoph Müller, PhD
A strategic partnership exists between the Hessian State Agency for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology (HLNUG) and the Justus Liebig University of Giessen, which is documented by the signing of a framework agreement. In addition, the HLNUG was an important associated partner in the LOEWE funding for the FACE2FACE project. The HLNUG significantly supports the implementation of the scientific results of the climate impact research carried out at the Environmental Monitoring and Climate Impact Research Station Linden (UKL) since 1998. A further 3-year grant is intended to continue the work that has been carried out together since 1998. In addition to the continuation of long-term observations (phenology, permanent observation plots) and experiments (Giessen FACE, Biochar), the factors increased CO2 concentrations and increased air temperature will be considered within the framework of the newly constructed Giessen T-FACE facility. The surveys include the continuation of existing data series as well as the inclusion of new integrative analyses, which above all form the basis for the application for further collaborative research projects.
