Human activities have mobilized earth elements and greatly accelerated their natural cycles, altering the chemical composition of the earth atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere, causing major changes in all of Earth systems.
In the Lab for Biogeochemistry and Global Environmental Change (LBGC) in BGU we study how these changes will shape natural ecosystems across the globe and affect their function and composition.
The research is focused on the effects of climate change, extreme weather events and human actions in the local and global scales on the balance between Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P), the most important elements for living organisms.
We are interested in the cycling of phosphorus in particular. P is expected to become the most limiting nutrient for many biological and ecological processes in many ecosystems.
The LBGC is equipped with advanced instruments for chemical and physical analyses of plant, dust, water and soil samples and various incubation chambers to run sophisticated laboratory experiments.
