"I have known ephie for the last two year. We met at a biocult project in Wundanyi that was funded by DAAD. The project involved vegetation analysis in 3 thematical areas. To collect data on;
Vegetation coverage across the canopies
Measurements of diameters of different plant spieces at Breast heights.
The general disturbances of the ecosystem.
To main objective was to find the fine scale carbon fluxes. That analyses of above ground biomas.
Finally I met Ephie in Berlin During my summer school and she gave me some wonderful insights of the project she was undertaking there."
