Den Geheimnissen der Artenvielfalt auf der Spur – inmitten von Krieg und Unsicherheit<\/h1>

Wie eine sDiv-Kooperation dazu beitrug, ukrainische Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler wieder zusammenzubringen und ihnen ein Umfeld der Stabilit\u00e4t, der Fokussierung und des wissenschaftlichen Austauschs bot.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

When they approached Jonathan Chase (group leader at iDiv and professor at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg), a leading expert in the scale-dependency of biodiversity, he warmly welcomed the collaboration and offered to host the sCaleGrassDiv<\/a> working group at iDiv. The funding by iDiv’s synthesis centre sDiv made it possible to organise a series of in-person workshops in Leipzig that brought together German and Ukrainian scholars. These meetings at iDiv in Leipzig reunited Ukrainian scholars scattered across Europe due to the war and provided them with a much-needed environment of stability, focus, and scientific exchange.<\/p>\n

This collaboration has led to a series of manuscripts in development, with the first paper recently published in Ecology and Evolution<\/i>: \u201cScale-Dependent Effects of Plant Diversity Drivers Across Different Grassland Habitats in Ukraine\u201d<\/b> (link<\/a>). This study reveals that the factors influencing plant diversity vary across spatial scales and explains the mechanisms underlying this scale dependency. These findings challenge the traditional assumption in vegetation sampling that the same environmental factors shape plant diversity across different grain sizes, emphasising the need to consider multiple spatial perspectives when studying biodiversity.<\/p>\n

However, this research tells a story far beyond scientific discovery \u2013 it is also a story of resilience. While much of the fieldwork was conducted before Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the war has since cast a long shadow over Ukrainian science. Many long-term monitoring sites have become inaccessible, and Ukrainian scholars now struggle with displacement, safety concerns, and the immense challenge of sustaining research under extreme conditions. Some researchers continue their work amid constant uncertainty, while others have been forced to leave their homes and institutions. Many families remain separated by war, such as Anna Kuzemko\u2019s husband and son, who were mobilised into the Ukrainian army.<\/p>\n

Beyond the immediate project, the meetings at iDiv helped foster lasting collaborations that extend far beyond the original scope of sCaleGrassDiv. Despite all hardships, the sCaleGrassDiv collaboration stands as a testament to the power of international scientific partnerships. It underscores the importance of preserving unique ecosystems \u2012 not just for biodiversity but also as part of the cultural and natural heritage of Ukraine. The data collected before the war now serve as a critical record of biodiversity, offering a baseline against which the environmental impacts of the war can be assessed and providing a foundation for future ecosystem restoration efforts.<\/p>\n
