Written by

The Senate of the German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the second funding period for the International Research Training Group “TreeDi – 林地 – Tree Diversity Interactions: The role of tree-tree interactions in local neighbourhoods in Chinese subtropical forests (GRK 2324)”.

The RTG focuses on the question of how trees interact and cooperate with each other within a forest, for example by exchanging nutrients via roots and fungal partners. The PhD projects are dedicated to the underlying processes and mechanisms of this cooperation.

The International Research Training Group “TreeDi – 林地 – Tree Diversity Interactions” is jointly operated by the MLU and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). Hosting institution is the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig.
