Congo Biogeochemistry Observatory

We are an international consortium of researchers who study biogeochemical cycles in Tropical Africa with focus on the Congo Basin and the Great Lakes region.

​

We want to raise awareness for this understudied and yet critical region of Africa. 

Nutrient Cycling // Plant-Soil Dynamics // Biogeochemistry // Global Change
