Biography

At the Chair of Soil Ecology at the University of Freiburg, Fritzi Lang leads research on the interactions between plants, soil organisms, and the abiotic components of soils, with a particular focus on forest ecosystems. Her work encompasses both fundamental soil science and application-oriented issues that arise due to changing environmental conditions. The research group under her leadership investigates the role of forest floors in storing carbon dioxide and their influence on the vitality and stability of forests, especially under climate change. Through interdisciplinary collaboration in projects funded by the German Research Foundation, including the Cluster of Excellence 'Future Forests', Lang and her team aim to develop and evaluate transformation pathways for resilient forest-based social-ecological systems. The research emphasizes sustainable management practices that enhance soil protection and ecosystem health in the face of global environmental changes.
