The MPI for Biogeochemistry has three scientific departments headed by Max Planck directors:
- Department of Biogeochemical Processes, Director: Susan Trumbore
- Department of Biogeochemical Systems, Director: Martin Heimann
- Department of Biogeochemical Integration, Director: Markus Reichstein
- Max Planck Research Groups:
- Biospheric Theory and Modelling, headed by Axel Kleidon
- Organic Paleobiogeochemistry, headed by Christian Hallmann
- Research Groups:
