The second Workshop of the sTurn Team took place in April in Lunz. 12 researchers, lead by Z Horvath and R Ptacnik from WCL, study how processes at the landscape level control diversity of biological communities. In order to achieve a more holistic understanding, processes in time and space are studied in parallel. The project combines modeling with analysis of empirical data. In a special seminar organized during the workshop recent advances in metacommunity research were communicated with other scientists from WCL.
