The DynaCom project consists of 10 subprojects and one coordination project (Subproject Z), as can seen below:

Project structure of DynaCom

Based on a central infrastructure and coordination project Z, empirical assessments of terrestrial (green) and aquatic (blue) compartments of the coastal food web are analysed. Extension of spatial community dynamics to global patterns is conducted by two macroecological projects (violet). Integration of trait data (arrows) is performed via two synthesis subprojects (red) focussing either on allometric relationships (top-down integration) or on resourceuse constraints (bottom-up constraints). These in turn provide predictions for global scale patterns.
