A DFG-funded theory and modelling project within the Biodiversity Exploratories, Germany’s long-term land-use and biodiversity research platform. In two phases (2014–2017 and 2017–2020), it fitted the process-based vegetation model LPJ-GUESS to Exploratory data with Bayesian statistics, to test mechanisms linking biodiversity, land use and ecosystem functions; see rLPJGUESS.
Research themes: Process-based models, Model-data integration
