The EcoNMR group is focussed on non-invasive NMR measurements of physical
parameters that can be related to plant physiological status and dynamics,
relevant soil characteristics and interactions between the two.
Developments in recent years have shown that meaningful information on
plants and soils can be obtained using advanced NMR methods. In the
Institute for Phytosphere (ICG-3) research targets on the investigation of
the dynamics of plant processes and the interactions with a varying
environment. In this context the development of enabling technologies, such
as non-invasive methods (NIM) for the investigation of biological systems is
indispensable.
