Fungal Biodiversity

I collaborate with several PNW fungal taxonomic specialists to identify and document species and their distributions at the northern limit of the Pacific Coastal Rainforest and transition zone into Boreal forests.

Microbial ecologist notoriously curious about the life of fungi. I currently work with microfluidic systems to study behaviors and interactions of filamentous fungi.

I am studying the biodiversity of mycorrhizal fungal communities associated associated with ecosystems in Lesotho

Microbial molecular ecology

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.

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 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

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.

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.
