COMPLEX RESEARCH LABORATORY
INTERNATIONAL COMPLEX RESEARCH LABORATORY FOR CLIMATE, LAND USE CHANGE AND BIODIVERSITY
The laboratory was created on May 25th, 2012 as part of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) – supported Russian-German research project titled “Sustainable land management and climate change adaptations in the agricultural areas of the Tyumen region” ("SASCHA"). (Laboratory establishment memorandum in Russian)
Laboratory address: 25 Lenina st., Tyumen, Russia
Telephone: +7 (3452) 542008 (ext. 17103)
The primary research focus is on soil zoology. Namely, we examine how biota interact with the surrounding soil and plant environments. The laboratory is among the world’s leaders in soil mite studies.
The laboratory is distinguished by its openness to international collaboration. Over the years, we have established numerous partnerships and collaborated on various research projects with the universities and research organizations from Germany, USA, New Zealand, Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
The research laboratory consists of research groups:
