Abstract:
This chapter reports on the experiences of German scientists working on biodiversity- and access and benefit-sharing (ABS)-related projects in several tropical countries and of guest researchers from those countries at German universities. Most of the projects were vegetation studies, studies on plant ecology and plant physiology, which were performed with colleagues from the University of Nairobi and later on from Maseno University. Laboratory work was performed in Kenya as often as possible. The main aim of the ecosystem study is to gain a better scientific understanding of ecosystem processes, the biodiversity of the ecosystems, the mutual interactions of organisms and of organisms with their natural and man-made environments. The focus of these 'pre-Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)' studies was on the ecology and ecophysiology of plants and analysis of vegetation. One project was on defence mechanisms of certain tropical trees against herbivores.
