Rhizosphere Biogeochemistry
Our research deals with environmental topics related to the function and use of agricultural ecosystems. Our research focus is on biogeochemical processes in the rhizosphere of crops. ...more
Crops under climate change
Modern cropping systems must be able to meet the challenges of climate change to ensure future yield stability under increasing stress conditions. By investigating rhizosphere traits in ancient crops, our objective is to uncover key processes for improved stress tolerance in plants. ...more
Mycorrhiza Research
Carbon is the building block of all living things. C atoms are continuously recycled, from the atmosphere to the ground, and back again. This C cycling may involve mediators, mycorrhizal fungi, with which most terrestrial plants live in symbiotic relationships. Our goal is to understand the role of mycorrhizal fungi in the C cycle. ...more
Plant-Soil-Interactions
Our research concentrates on the linkages between aboveground processes of plants and rhizosphere functions. ...more
