Nina Buchmann is a German ecologist known for her research on the physiology of plants and the impact of plants on biogeochemical cycling. She is a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and an elected fellow of the American Geophysical Union.

Education and career

Buchmann has an undergraduate degree from the University of Bayreuth (1989). In 1993 she finished her Ph.D. there working with Ernst-Detlief Schulze (de)[2] with a research project tracking the incorporation of inorganic nitrogen into trees.[3] Following this, she spent three years at the University of Utah working with James Ehleringer. In 1996 she returned to the University of Bayreuth and finished her habilitation working on the exchange of carbon dioxide between soils and the atmosphere.[4] Starting in 1993, she worked at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry until she moved to ETH Zurich in 2003 where she is a full professor.[2]

In 2018, she was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union who cited "her pioneering work to understand ecophysiological mechanisms regulating ecosystem carbon dynamics locally, regionally and across diverse ecosystems".[5]

Research

Buchmann's research centers on the role of plants in biogeochemical cycling. Some examples of her research include investigations into the ecophysiology of plants and ecosystems,[6] the flux of carbon and water in terrestrial ecosystems,[7] and biogeochemical processes such as the carbon dynamics of the Amazonian rainforest.[8] Buchmann's early research tracked inorganic nitrogen uptake by trees using stable isotopes,[9] and examined the carbon isotopic signature of C-4 grasses[10] and forests,[11] and soils.[12]
