Goddert from Oheimb

Goddert von Oheimb (* 1970 ) is a German biologist and professor for “ Biodiversity and Nature Conservation ” at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences (Forest Sciences) at TU Dresden .

Life

Von Oheimb studied biology at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen until 1996 and then became a research assistant at the professorship for world forestry at the University of Hamburg. Since 2000 von Oheimb worked in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the Institute for Ecology and Environmental Chemistry at the University of Lüneburg (today Leuphana University Lüneburg). There he did his doctorate and habilitation.

Research focus

The current research focus of Oheimbs lies in the analysis of phytodiversity and in the development of nature conservation strategies under the conditions of "sustainable land use management" and " global change biology ".

He works on the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, conservation concepts to secure natural resources, conservation biology. His main focus is forest ecology and management. He investigates the reaction of individual plant species and plant communities to multiple, interacting forces triggered by land use change, climate change, nitrogen deposition and various forms of land use. In summary, it is about applied plant ecology.
