Great Success of SoWa researchers in the Czech Science Foundation competition (GA CR)

For the year 2021,  SoWa Dr. Gerrit Angst and Dr. Travis Meador were awarded with 2 standard grants in the Czech Science Foundation competition (GA CR).

The project of Gerrit Angst

The aim of this project is to test the effect of marcescence in connection with various litter traits on carbon and nutrient cycling (N, P), evaluate differences in the decomposition of directly shed and marcescent litter, and disentangle the ecological relevance of marcescence for ecosystem services.

The project of Travis Meador

The aim of this project is the characterization of seasonal changes in reactivity of dissolved organic matter using its stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition in natural ecosystems.
