Cross Cutting Questions

Based on close cooperation between the partners the RU will explain the impact of temperature and P supply on FF properties and corresponding service fulfilment as mediated by FF biota. Central to our research are the 12 study sites of the RU representing the factors T and P supply. We will use different research methods which rely either on sample components taken at the study sites or are performed on-site. Thus, the joint study sites provide strong links between the projects and the cooperation is directed and structured by addressing controls, properties and services of FFs . In order to further optimise and specify the synergies from the cooperation in the RU, we have developed cross cutting (CC) questions related to the FF services of (1) nutrient provision, (2) carbon sequestration, and (3) water supply and to the identification of properties, indicating service fulfilment:
