The projects of the
Biodiversity Exploratories

Currently, there are more than 40 projects involved. They investigate the cause-and-effect relations in the enlivened nature, both, by monitoring as well as experiments. Use the filter options to search for specific projects.

Figure: The photo shows a meadow with a flock of sheep in front of a climate measuring station. On the right side of the picture there is a shepherd with dogs and another man. In the background there are more meadows and mixed forest on hills.

Picture: The photograph shows a young scientist in a beech forest in summer standing under a branch several meters above him. With his right hand, the scientist is holding a very long leaf-collecting stick upwards into the foliage of the branch. With his left hand, he is pulling a black ribbon leading upwards to the tip of the stick, presumably to trigger a severing device.

Picture: The photo shows an area of the science garden of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main on a sunny day. Plants are parked in the area shown. The area is surrounded by a scaffolding about two to three metres high, on which there are foils that can be pulled over the parking areas to protect them from the sun and precipitation. In the background, tall growing plants in large flower pots can be seen. In the foreground is a rectangular area several metres long between two paths on the left and right of the picture. The ground is covered with a black foil. On top of the foil are a large number of so-called "multi-trays", which are rectangular black tray-like collection containers with recesses for holding 54 plants each in 6 by 9 rows. The containers are visually very reminiscent of baking tins for muffins. All containers are filled and contain the five thousand three hundred and eighty-eight plants collected in the "Herbadapt" project. In each well of the multitrays, there is a labelled coloured strip in red, orange, blue or purple in the soil to identify the plant.

Picture: The collage contains six photographs of steps in molecular analyses in a laboratory, performed by a scientist. Photo 1 shows a sample standardization device. Photo 2 shows the scientist working on a polymerase chain reaction device. Photo 3 shows the scientist using an electronic pipette to fill a sample into a micro-reaction tube. Photo 4 shows an Illumina MiSeq sequencer. Photo 5 shows the scientist working on a bioinformatics quality control device. Photo 6 shows the scientist at a desk in front of a computer making inputs for assignment.

Picture: The photograph shows, photographed from above, a dead piglet on the forest floor in a cage with black bars. To the left of the piglet is a hollow cylindrical metal tube in the floor, next to which is a metal rod in the floor, to which a square metal surface is screwed as a kind of roof over the tube. To the lower right of the piglet, in a transparent blue housing, is a device for collecting scent samples of the volatile decomposition substances of the carcass.
