Department of Limnology

Limnology is the discipline within ecology, focusing on inland aquatic ecosystems, including communities, populations, and biogeochemical processes. Microorganisms as well as larger organisms are studied. The issues addressed are of significance for the understanding of aquatic ecosystems, but they also have general ecological or evolutionary implications. Limnology encompasses basic scientific problems as well as research of interest for the protection of the environment.
