Multidisciplinary research with a long time-scale perspective
Our research seeks to understand drivers of change in terrestrial (and freshwater) ecosystems.
We aim to generate fundamental scientific insights that also contribute to scientifically informed and evidence-based decision-making in society. As part of this, we seek to provide a knowledge base relating to the causes and consequences of current global change in terrestrial (and freshwater) ecosystems. We also seek to predict the effects of global change on terrestrial ecosystems, and to identify ways of mitigating the impacts. We collaborate in several large international ecological projects, including distributed experiments, knowledge-sharing platforms, and large research consortia. Reproducibility and open science are embedded in our approaches. We involve stakeholders in our science locally, nationally, and internationally. We are inclusive with regards to background, gender, and career stage. Further, we communicate our science across a broad spectrum of channels, from high-profile publications to the science-policy interface and popular science. This ensures that we reach the appropriate audiences and have impact within science and across society.
