Nutrient Cycling

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).

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.

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.

Researcher to study the fungal communities and mycorrhizal associations through their roles in important soil processes in the old growth temperate forest ecosystems in Southern Chile and expertise in terrestrial biogeochemistry and soil ecology

I'm interested in mycorrhizal nutrient dynamics

I am interested in the molecular dialogue between plants, mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria during community formation. I apply electron tomography and light microscopy to study the structural organisation of community interactions during symbiosis and how the mechanisms of molecular transport inform our understanding of planetary health.

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.
