Research Interests
The Soil Ecology Research Group () seeks to discover the impacts of environmental change on soil ecological processes. A key theme in our research is undertaking high quality fundamental and applied research that can be used by policy makers to make informed decisions. Our research involves a number of projects in two main areas:
- Fundamental soil ecology: linking microbial diversity to ecosystem function. This includes our work on molecular ecology and nutrient release from organic matter in soils.
- Managing plant-based systems to mitigate climate change and improve plant nutrition. This includes work on mycorrhizas.
