Silke Langenheder is a Professor and Head of the Limnology Program at Uppsala University in the Department of Ecology and Genetics. Her research primarily focuses on understanding the mechanisms that regulate the diversity and functioning of microbial communities in freshwater systems in response to environmental changes and disturbances. She coordinates the SITES AquaNet mesocosm infrastructure and addresses fundamental ecological questions regarding the relationship between diversity and ecosystem functioning, and how environmental changes influence biodiversity. Her current research includes studying the assembly mechanisms of bacterial metacommunities and the effects of eutrophication and browning on flagellate feeding modes. Langenheder uses experimental studies involving both lab-scale microcosms and field-based mesocosms to conduct her research, aiming to provide insights into the ecological dynamics of aquatic ecosystems.
