Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry

The Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry is located in Jena, Germany. It was created in 1997, and moved into new buildings 2002.[1] It is one of 84 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft).[2]

Scientific profile

The research at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry is dedicated to the study of global biogeochemical cycles and their long-term interactions with the biosphere, the atmosphere, the geosphere and the entire climate system. We aim to better understand how living organisms - including humans - exchange basic resources such as water, carbon, nutrients, and energy with their environment and how this affects ecosystems and climate at regional to global scales.[3]
