Overview

Jürg Fuhrer is affiliated with the University of Bern in Switzerland and conducts research primarily in the fields of Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work extends into key subfields including Global and Planetary Change and Soil Science.

The scientist's research focuses on topics that intersect plant physiology and ecosystem dynamics, such as Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics, Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics, and Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics.

Jürg Fuhrer has contributed to scientific literature with publications in peer-reviewed journals. Notably, one recent paper is titled "Effect of management and weather variations on the greenhouse gas budget of two grasslands during a 10-year experiment", published in 2020 in the journal Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment. This work examines long-term environmental impacts related to greenhouse gases in grassland ecosystems.

Collaboration is an aspect of their research practice, with frequent coauthors including:

  • Christof Ammann
  • A. Neftel
  • Markus Jocher
  • Jens Leifeld

Their publication record includes contributions to the venue Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, which aligns with their focus on environmental and agricultural sciences.
