Martin Zimmer is a trained ecologist and mangrove expert, leading the working group of Mangrove Ecology and the Research Program Area Ecosystem Co-Design at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) in Bremen, Germany. In addition, he is coordinating the research consortium sea4soCiety under the umbrella of CDRmare, Germany's research mission on marine carbon dioxide removal.
His research focus lies on how the species composition and biotic interactions in coastal vegetated ecosystems drive ecosystem processes under different and changing environmental conditions, and how these translate into ecosystem services, such as coastal protection and blue carbon-storage. Martin Zimmer aims at providing scientific knowledge as background for sustainable management and decision-making towards Nature-based Solutions for climate change-mitigation and resilience of tropical coastal socio-ecological systems.
