PflanzeKlimaKultur!

In the joint project "PflanzeKlimaKultur!", scientists from the Botanical Garden Berlin (Freie Universität Berlin) and the iDiv at the University of Jena want to research the influence of climate change on the growth phases of plants together with citizens in Berlin, Halle, Jena and Leipzig. You can observe and record the development stages of selected herbaceous plants in your own garden or in model beds in one of the four botanical gardens.

Making a Change!

The observation of phenological processes offers a valuable opportunity to make climate change and its consequences visible and tangible. Students deal with exactly these questions over a longer period of time. They make their own observations and collect data on certain plants in their own environment over the course of a school year. The will work with experts from the University of Vienna and the Vienna Botanical Garden and learn about scientific work.
Schools and students meet the PhenObs-Network!

 

 

 


iCyt - Pollen analyses

The iDiv support unit called “iCyt” (“integrative Cytomics”) measures cells in suspension independent of their origin (water, soil or air samples of plant, animal or human origin). Their unique methods to measure individual particles in powerful combination with deep-learning algorithms enables possibilities to investigate pollen and plant-pollinator interactions within the PhenObs network.
Small - smaller - pollen analyses!

 

 


 

 

PollObs - Pollinator observations within PhenObs

Together with colleagues from the iDiv, especially the working group "Spatial Interaction Ecology" (Prof. Tiffany Knight), we are focusing our work on the observation of pollinators. The aim of "PollObs" is to study the role of flowering times and functional floral traits on plant-pollinator interactions. To answer these questions, we use data from field observations in the botanical gardens in Jena, Halle and Leipzig, as well as experimental approaches. An important component is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically detect pollinators from video recordings.


iDiv PlantHub

The iDiv support unit "PlantHub" aims to present biodiversity data in all its facets, to use and expose open-access data in the biodiversity/ecology domain, to increase interoperability among projects and with external databases, and to host workflows to access, pre-process, and analyse data from iDiv and partner institutions. In addition to data from PhenObs, data from other projects as TRY, sMon and GloNAF can be explored there.
