Prof. Dr. Gerald Jurasinski

Areas of work

My scientific work focuses on the influence of land use and climate change on vegetation and soil and thus on the material turnover of sites, ecosystems and landscapes. I use methods from vegetation ecology, plant ecology, biogeochemistry, microbiology and micrometeorology and link the resulting information with geographical information systems and geostatistical models. Since 2008, my work has focussed on peatland ecosystems and forests.

  • Greenhouse gas exchange and carbon turnover in peatland ecosystems
  • Patterns of material turnover in space and time and the associated storage and relocation of carbon and patterns of greenhouse gas emissions, taking
  • into account the turnover of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur and iron 
  • Rewetting and renaturalisation of peatland ecosystems including coastal peatlands
  • Medium to long-term dynamics of vegetation in peatlands and forests
  • Biogeochemistry of methane production in shallow water bodies and rewetted peatland ecosystems
  • Mode of functioning and dynamics of peat accumulation in rewetted and coastal peatlands
