Understanding these processes requires a solid theory-based approach to integrate across levels of organisation and spatio-temporal scales, combined with experimental platforms and ‘-omics’ technologies. Work thus far at iDiv has addressed this question using agent-based models and experiments exploring the role of traits and feedbacks among microbes and plants in determining coexistence, examining co-evolutionary processes between hosts and parasites, and determining the genomic and biochemical factors that mediate plant-herbivore interactions. Our challenge is to integrate these approaches and to scale-up – from the genome to the individual and from the individual to the ecosystem and global patterns of biodiversity.Kinetic studies are generally chemical steps performed to derive a suitable mathematic model that closely describes the rate of reaction and reaction mechanism. From: Advances in Bioenergy, 2018.Kinetic studies are important in understanding reactions, and they have practical implications, too. ... Not only are kinetic studies important in industry, but they are also used to understand biological processes, especially enzyme-catalyzed reactions.Chemical kinetics, the branch of physical chemistry that is concerned with understanding the rates of chemical reactions. It is to be contrasted with thermodynamics, which deals with the direction in which a process occurs but in itself tells nothing about its rateOne reason for the importance of kinetics is that it provides evidence for the mechanisms of chemical processes. ... Measurements of the rates of chemical reactions over a range of conditions can show whether a reaction proceeds by one or more steps.
