Research group: Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions and Experimentation

Mission

The Biosphere-Atmosphere Experimentation and Interactions Group (BAIE) aims at improving the understanding of the interactions and feedbacks between climate, environmental changes, nutrient availability and the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. To this end we combine tools and approaches from biometeorology and biogeochemistry such as eddy covariance flux observation, field manipulation experiments, soil and plant analysis, and proximal/remote sensing techniques. With a global focus, the group investigates the biosphere-atmosphere interactions by contributing to and analyzing globally distributed datasets (e.g. FLUXNET database, remote sensing products) using data-mining and model-data integration techniques. Exploiting this generalized information, our final goal is to enhance the description of the response of biosphere’s element cycling to climate variability in state-of-the-art global terrestrial biosphere models and up-scaling approaches.

October 2020:

Tarek and David’s were in the field today - at our research site Leinefelde where we collaborate with Alexander Knohl from Göttingen University. They collected our fluorescence box (FloX) that was installed there over the summer - enabling us the continous observation of chlorophyll fluorescence of the local beech forest.

Check out these two recently published articles with contributions from Mirco and Tarek:

Ecosystem transpiration and evaporation: Insights from three water flux partitioning methods across FLUXNET sites

Advances in hyperspectral remote sensing of vegetation traits and functions

Beech forest in Leinefelde

September 2020:

There will be two presentations from our group at the ICOS science conference 2020 – both in Theme 1 Vulnerability of the carbon cycle - so join us on Wednesday Sept. 16th 14:00 CET for a talk about How nutrient and water availability impact carbon fluxes in a semi-arid tree-grass ecosystem by Mirco/Tarek and have a look at Mirco's poster about The global coordination of ecosystem functional properties

Ulisse Gomarasca and Ladislav Sigut started last week as PhD student and visiting scientist, respectively. Welcome!!

Projects

MANIP - Large-Scale Manipulation Experiment
MANIP, a long term experimental project, aims at understanding responses in different eddy covariance sites from nutrient loading (primarily N and P) and water availability, on ecosystem-level carbon, water fluxes, and their interannual variability.

DEHESHyrE
Monitoring mass and energy fluxes in a manipulated Mediterranean tree-grass Dehesa (Mediterranean Savanna) ecosystem through the integration of ground and satellite data with airborne hyperspectral imagery

MoReDEHESHyReS - Modelling Responses of Dehesas with Hyperspectral Remote Sensing
MoReDEHESHyReS develops methodologies to exploit hyperspectral information from the Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program (EnMAP) mission in order to generate new products mapping new Essential Biodiversity Variables describing plant physiology and vegetation traits and structure.

Mr.PARTS: Minirhizotron Phenology and Root Traits
Mr.PARTS aims to develop a new, remote-operated minirhizotron (a method for non-destructive and repeatable observation of soil systems), as well as new computer vision tools to ease interpretation of images. This will be used to investigate the drivers of root growth and phenology at high time resolution in both mesocosms and the field, linking root phenology with ecosystem carbon budgets.

TRuStEE: Training on Remote Sensing for Ecosystem modElling
A Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (MSCA-ITN-ETN) on remote sensing for ecosystem modelling.

oBEF Across: Observing effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning across time, space, and wavelength
The project addresses this topic by exploring the potential of the Sentinels, EnMap, and ESA-Flex missions for revealing influence of Biodiversity on Ecosystem Functioning (BEF) across environmental gradients, and to assess their temporal “stability”. This project will generate and test new hypothesis, for instance regarding the post-disturbance BEF recovery. Key questions in the context of “biodiversity patterns” and “biodiversity functions” will profit and be broadened. The project is funded by German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig. This project is a collaborative effort among MPI-BGC (Max-Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry), UL (University of Leipzig), and UFZ (Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research).

FLEXSense - FLEX Sentinel Tandem Experiment ?
In the FLEXSense project we provide ground observations in the MANIP experimental sites to interpret airborne measurements of fluorescence collected with the HyPlant sensor in the context of the FLEX Sentinel Tandem Experiment. The prohject is funded by ESA.

Zenodo. http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2651060: this dataset contains root measurements collected in the MaNiP experiment at the experimental site Majadas de Tietar between November 2016 and May 2018. We collected direct measurements of root biomass, ingrowth cores (always initiated in December of the previous year to sampling date) and minirhizotron measurements from approximately every other month during the growing season. These data are reported in Nair et al., (2018) along with commentary on the methods of sampling. In this dataset we include data as shown in the paper; this includes the top 13 cm of fine root biomass (the majority of fine roots at most times of the year).
