Escalating effects of multiple perturbations on soil biodiversity and function https://www.wsl.ch/de/projekte/multi-perturbation/
We hypothesise that combined perturbations will have synergistic effects with cascading

Hyperparasitism, the fundamental relationship between two parasitic organisms typically provides the basis for biological control. We investigate the infection dynamics of a mycovirus, which acts as biological control agent of the introduced tree disease.
Mycoviruses that infect plant pathogenic fungi have the potential to be used as biocontrol
Glacier water pockets (GWPs) are elusive bodies of liquid water that can form within glaciers.
How can the locations of GWPs be determined, and which morphologies do they have?
If an avalanche is triggered, how large will it be? To answer this question, we will analyze unique data from field experiments to provide new insights into the process controlling avalanche release and avalanche size.
While in recent years computer models have been used to study this process, there
This ETH-Domain ORD Program Contribute Project aims at curating and uploading the existing data of the European Long-term treeline Ecosystem Research (eLTER) site Stillberg, Switzerland, was established in to national and international ORD platforms (EnviDat, DEIMS-SDR).
In almost 50 years, we have collected a wealth of ecological and environmental data

This project aims to holistically understand and quantify nitrogen fluxes across and within compartments to predict the effects of energy transition and environmental changes from other drivers and provide stakeholders and policymakers with informed possible outcomes of future scenarios.
Researchers have until now mainly focused onindividual compartments, thereby largely
The goal of this project is to contribute to the evaluation of non-native tree species that could potentially mitigate mortality in our forests, through scalable drone-based phenotyping approaches and the assessment of mechanistic traits, such as phenological plasticity and drought stress-resistance
conditions (i.e., assisted migration), is among the forest management practices that have
Tree-ring d13C variations are a valuable archive of climatic information. A novel laser-ablation isotope-ratio mass-spectrometer enables to study variations within a single tree ring. We therefore plan to determine the occurrence of dry and wet periods of the past with unprecedented resolution.
Finanzierung Swiss National Science Foundation Tree-ring d13C variations have
Landscapes receive water from rain and snow, and then release it as „blue water“ that flows downward to streams and „green water“ that flows upward to vegetation
This talk will outline key surprises that have changed our understanding of how landscapes
