Wiebke Mohr

Wiebke Mohr is a Researcher in the Biogeochemistry Group at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen. Her work focuses on microbial and geochemical processes governing oceanic element cycles, particularly nitrogen fixation, sulfur cycling, and microbial symbiosis. She investigates how microorganisms interact with their environments to influence global biogeochemical cycles and climate.

Research interests include marine microbial symbioses, nutrient dynamics in oligotrophic oceans, and the role of microorganisms in carbon and nitrogen cycling. Her studies span from microbial interactions in seagrass ecosystems to large-scale oceanographic processes, such as methane formation and diazotroph distribution.

Publications highlight her contributions to understanding nitrogen fixation in novel symbiotic systems, methane production linked to oceanic primary production, and global biogeochemical modeling. Collaborations involve interdisciplinary approaches, including field expeditions and lab-based experiments.

Wiebke Mohr’s work bridges microbial ecology with biogeochemistry, addressing critical questions about marine ecosystem functions and their responses to environmental changes.
