Coordination
Final Report Abstract
The Z-Project functioned as interface between the subprojects, and between the Research Unit and the landowner/farmer (Research Farm of the Göttingen University). The Z-Project established the experimental field site, coordinated and supported the field site management, the sampling campaigns and laboratory experiments. At the end of the funding period – in autumn 2014 - the Z-Project was responsible for the deinstallation of all experimental devices at the experimental plots and handed over the field site to its owner. The Z-Project also supported the establishment of the joint database of the Research Unit, which was maintained by SP ModelC at the server of the Göttingen University. Moreover, the Z-Project contributed to the preparation of publications and due to presentations at international conferences the Research Unit became well known in the international scientific community.
