The Jena Experiment offers a unique opportunity for synthesis of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, as data of various disciplines, from species interactions to element cycling are collected within the same plots. From the beginning, data gathering in the Jena Experiment was guided by the central project which also provided advice on experimental design, sampling location (link: Go to the Jena Experiment Information System).
More and more our team focuses on synthesis work. We therefore catalyze analyses that are carried out by all scientists of the research unit. Leading synthesis work including meta-analyses of the results obtained in the Jena Experiment and in natural and managed ecosystems. The patterns, associations, or relationships among all this data can be analyzed from different perspectives and summarized into useful information.
