The Experiment
The Jena Experiment is a long-term biodiversity focused research project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
The large scale project has been running since 2002 and involves over 100 scientists. The research is centred around discovering which mechanisms influence ecosystem functions and make them stable.
The project takes place on a 10 hectare site in Jena, Germany – which consists of approximately 600 plots of artificially assembled grasslands.

Each plot is different, some are monocultures, others are grassland mixtures with up to 60 different species of grasses, herbs or legumes. Some of the plots are covered with a roof to simulate climatic extremes such as drought.
