Networks & Facilities

BBIB integrates competences in ecological, evolutionary, social, and political sciences across universities and extramural research institutes to tackle the challenges of global biodiversity change.

Since 2025, we have been conducting research at Project DCrops4OneHealth on how the diversification of crop production systems, reduction in the use of agrochemicals, and an increase in landscape complexity affect human health.

The Leibniz Innovation Farm is a high-tech infrastructure project to explore long-term solutions to conflicting goals between commercial agriculture and ecosystem health

The old farmstead serves as UP research station since 1975. It is located in a nature reserve consisting of water bodies and floodplains, making it ideal for the study of dynamic landscapes

Since 1993, the IZW conducts ecological research on various native wildlife species in Niederfinow.

We compare species diversity and abundance of different insect taxa in wildflower strips with those in a rolling WF block in Brandenburg.

In 2013, our lysimeter system was set up at the Gülpe Biological Station to research the effects of voles on vegetation diversity and soil.

ScapeLabs are designed to test concepts and lab studies at relevant spatial scales. They provide an efficient infrastructure for collaborative experiments and longterm data collections.

The outdoor facilities are used to study ecological questions on population biology, species community, movement ecology and behavioural ecology.
