Heinz Ellenberg was among the first to experimentally show the importance of a distinction between [[fundamental niche]] and [[realized niche]] for plants. He experimentally grew two species of ''[[Bromus]]'' along a moisture gradient and showed that, in monoculture,both species were able to inhabitat the entire range. Nevertheless, in mixture, the two species dissociated and showed clear preference for either the dry or the moist end of the gradient<ref>Ellenberg, H. (1953) Physiologisches und ökologisches Verhalten derselben Pflanzenarten. Berichte der Deutschen botanischen Gesellschaft, 65: 351-362.</ref>
In 1966 he moved to the [[University of Göttingen]], where he established the [[Neuer Botanischer Garten der Universität Göttingen]]. He became [[emeritus]] in 1981. From 1982 to 1986, he served as president of the [[International Association for Vegetation Science|International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS)]].
