Research interests

• Lipid distribution and stable carbon isotopic composition of individual lipids in various higher plants.
• Influence of Global Change on lipids within plants and soils.
• Modification of lipids in FACE-Experiments.
• Turnover of total soil organic carbon and plant-derived lipids in soils.
• Verification of changes in soil organic carbon composition and turnover as a result of the atmospheric Suess-Effect.
• Decomposition trends of organic components with soil depth and particle-size.
• Soil fauna effects on soil organic carbon and lipid turnover.
• Lateral and vertical distribution of organic pollutants (e.g. PAHs and DDT metabolites) in soils.
• Transport mechanisms of pollutants in surface sediments of rivers and lakes.
