Welcome to the Institute of Landscape and Plant Ecology at the University of Hohenheim.

Our institute comprises two departments:

Our research and teaching addresses the dynamics of biodiversity and ecosystems. Fundamental research on processes driving these dynamics forms the scientific basis for answering applied questions concerning the impact of environmental change on ecological systems and the sustainable use of natural resources. In our work, we combine a wide range of methods from field such as ecophysiology, evolutionary ecology, population biology, ecosystem science, remote sensing, applied statistics and ecological modelling.
