Amazon-FLUX

Amazon-FLUX investigates plant and soil interactions in the Amazon Rainforest to determine how nutrients and water fluxes may affect the forest under global change (i.e. elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations, increasing temperatures and increasing drought events).

The collaborative project Amazon-FLUX is funded by the Bavarian State Chancellery (Bayerische Staatskanzlei) and combines researchers from Germany and Brazil.
