Most of us love water. We spend days at a swimming lake, stroll along the banks of the Alster, or paddle through the canals on SUPs. We usually observe nature at the water's surface—we're familiar with waterfowl and fish, have heard frogs croak, and maybe even seen crayfish. But none of this would exist without a tiny world that mostly remains hidden from us. The smallest of the tiny, like the microalgae and water fleas in the water, and the nematodes and myceliums in the sediments, form a microcosm that is enormously important for the quality of lakes and rivers.
In this event, researchers from the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences will make this world visible to us and explain the important role these microorganisms play, the challenges they face, and what they do for us without us being aware of their existence.
