Conservation

We manage and monitor the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve for endangered and rare species, including Golden-cheeked Warbler, Black-capped Vireo, karst invertebrates, and rare plants.

My work involves studying and working with soil biodiversity in various degraded sites, such as rangelands, forests, and grasslands. My primary focus is on understanding how to restore and sustain these ecosystems through biological interventions.My research and activities explore the intricate relationships between living organisms in the soil, including microorganisms, fungi, bacteria, plants, and invertebrates.

Our research focuses on beneficial plant-microbe interactions and soil microorganisms'' roles in disturbed ecosystems

I am working on the biodiversity offset project.

Plant-fungal ecology. Plant-fungal biotechnology.

I work on tropical ectomycorrhizal fungi. The research group is multi disciplinar and includes taxonomy of fungi and plants, plant anatomy, plant physiology and ecology.

Studies related to nutrient dynamics and organic matter decomposition; evaluation of chemical, biochemical and microbiological indicators of soil quality in semi-arid environments. Ecological studies about the effect of different disturbances on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi present in the rangelands of central-southern Argentina.

Effects of soil type management on mycorrhizal communities in conserved dry forest, coffee, corn and peanut crops in southern Ecuador.

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.

Bioecology of mycorrhizas and associated fungi in natural and human-modified environments; Taxonomic and functional diversity of mycorrhizas; Direct and indirect ecosystem services provided by mycorrhizas; Search for fungal species with biotechnological potential for application in various aspects of everyday life, remediation and restoration of natural environments; Fungi and global change.

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

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.

Researcher in charge of custody, curatorship and scaling of HFMA accessions of the Collection of microorganisms with biofertilizer interest (CMIB) of the Microorganisms Germplasm Bank of Agrosavia. Additionally, research on the use of HFMA and its diversity applied in agriculture.

My research weaves Indigenous Knowledge Systems with Western scientific methods to evaluate Indigenous-led climate/culture innovative conservation, adaptation, and mitigation, as well as the ethical approach to nature-based solutions and nature-positive practices. The kinship-based regenerative landscape restoration of the Global South food systems (farmlands & forestlands) links the intersections between the kallamp ecosystem (mycorrhizal network), soil health stewardship systems, and Indigenous People (IP) and Local Communities (LCs) symbiotic-indigeneity cultural philosophy on “commonning" the rhizosphere health.
