ECOSPHERE studies the role of biogeochemistry in biology and of biology in the biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems focusing on the interaction of plants and animals -from diatoms to hippos- with the transformation and transportation of elements, but also the effects that excess nutrients (e.g. eutrophication) can exert on organisms’ performance and distribution. Within this research line, specific attention is given to climate change (temperature, CO2,…).
