The Jena Experiment is a DFG-funded Research Unit that builds on a long
history of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research (FOR 456; FOR
1451). Despite broad consensus of the positive BEF relationship, the
underlying ecological and evolutionary mechanisms have not been well
understood. The Jena Experiment aims at filling this gap of knowledge by
applying novel experimental and analytical approaches in one of the
longest-running biodiversity experiments in the world (running since 2002).
The central aim of the Research Unit is to uncover the mechanisms that
determine BEF relationships in the short- and in the long-term.
