Tatiana Reichert

Tatiana Reichert is a Ph.D. researcher at the Technical University of Munich, and her work focuses on the strategies plants employ to use and acquire phosphorus in the Amazon rainforest. Her methods involve combining modeling and experimental field research to investigate how plant investments in these strategies may impact the forest. Her current goal is to help improve projections of the Amazon rainforest in vegetation models by improving the representation of phosphorus use and acquisition strategies.
