Activities
At the broadest level, the mission of the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) is to increase our understanding of the diversity and dynamics of ecosystems from the level of molecules and genes to entire ecosystems.
Our aim is to unravel how ecosystems function in their full complexity, and how they change due to natural processes and human interference.
The focus in IBED lies on the study of two interlinked aspects:
(i) how do organisms interact with one another and with their abiotic environment, and
(ii) what are the dynamics that emerge from these interactions
