Dr. Johannes Kalbe

Dr. Johannes Kalbe is working as a scientific assistant at the working group “Landscape Ecology and Site Evaluation" from 2016 to 2022. In his research, he investigated the carbon exchange and storage in forest soils and their application in forest management strategies (Project FOMOSY-KK). He is currently in charge of the Geological Collection of the Professorship.
