معرفی
Dr. Arne Wenzel is a Researcher at the University of Göttingen's Department of Crop Sciences within the Functional Agrobiodiversity group, focusing on biodiversity conservation in human-modified tropical landscapes to inform sustainable landscape design.
His research expertise spans:
- Biodiversity Conservation
- Landscape Ecology
- Tropical Ecology
- Agroecology
- Functional Biodiversity (with emphasis on pollination ecology and pest control)
Fieldwork across Sulawesi, Sumatra, and South India examines how land-use practices affect biodiversity patterns. Currently coordinating EFForTS project's large-scale Sumatran landscape assessment (100+ plots), he investigates rainforest transformation impacts using dummy caterpillars, stingless bee colonies, pantraps, and bioacoustic monitoring of birds and bats.
Scientific awards: None mentioned in source text.
As lead of EFForTS sub-project B09, he directs research on biodiversity-ecosystem service relationships in transformation landscapes, though specific grants or student supervision details are unreported.
Embedded within the Functional Agrobiodiversity group, he contributes to the interdisciplinary EFForTS initiative studying ecological-socioeconomic dynamics of Sumatran rainforest conversion systems.
