[Project News]
We received notice that the Tyrolean Science Fund approved our project "Fluxes of biogenic oxygenated volatile organic compounds between mountain grassland ecosystems and the atmosphere" (2012-2013).

New group members: Petra Schattanek and Sabrina Obwegeser will join the group as Master students, supervised jointly with Univ. Prof. Dr. Stefan Mayer (Institute of Botany), within the frame of the StartClim project "Effects of soil drying on transpiration of Austrian tree species". Christoph will switch to this project in January 2012 as well.
