I am an ecologist studying how biotic interactions, disturbance and global change mediate community assembly of plants and soil microbes to affect emergent ecosystem functions.

Systematic and ecology of higher fungi, specially ECM. Promotion and conservation of edible species is equally a major focus.

My research interests encompass plant-microbiome interaction, environmental microbiology, and mycology. My research program focuses on understanding mycorrhizal symbiosis, particularly the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis. My attention is specifically centered towards the fungus side of this symbiosis, known as AM fungi, which play a vital role in terrestrial ecosystems.

I study novel mycorrhizal nitrogen acquisition

Estudiante de doctorado. Especializada en la genética de la conservación de especies forestales en los bosques de la Sierra Juárez de Oaxaca, México. Interesada en los efectos del cambio climático y en las interacciones entre plantas y ecosistemas del suelo (hongos y bacterias).

I am working on tropical African mycorrhizal fungi and their interactions with green plants. Research aspects include mycorrhizal networking, integrative taxonomy, evolution, ecology, sustainable uses and conservation of mycorrhizal fungi from tropical Africa

Currently, I work as a researcher and teaching in the Faculty of Agriculture at Tadulako University. My core research area is the functional diversity of arbuscular mycorrhiza, fungal pathogens, and agroecology.

Exploring the vital role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in agriculture, my research aims to understand their potential in enhancing agroecosystem sustainability. I investigate the impact of agricultural practices on AMF abundance and diversity, offering insights crucial for disentangling the complexities of a fungal-friendly approach to sustainable farming.

I work with pollutants and their degradation with fungi

My research focuses on understanding the role of soil fungal communities on plant community composition in different systems (agricultural, grassland and temperate and boreal forest). In addition, I am interest in understanding how global change factors such as soil disturbance, biological invasions and climate change affect such plant-fungal interactions.

Peter’s expertise lies in Plant Ecology and Biodiversity and is particularly interested in studying the complex networks of relationships between organisms and their environment, and how these interactions shape community structure and organisation, as well as ecosystem functioning. His research focuses not only on understanding the factors that influence species composition, diversity and abundance in ecological communities, but also the processes that drive the distributions of species at both fine and coarse spatial scales, as well as temporally.

I am currently a 2nd year MSc. Plant Protection, and my research focuses on the effects of different fertilizer levels on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in different corn varieties under different water regimes. This research aims to evaluate the potential impacts of different nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under different water conditions to ascertain the best soil nutrient addition methods that can help sustain soil microbiome functioning and diversity.

My primary research focus lies in harnessing the power of genomics to develop innovative solutions that promote a harmonious relationship between agriculture and the environment. Additionally, I'm passionate about exploring marine bioprospecting for the development of novel drugs and other valuable applications.
