Research interests
My interests include the investigation of the influence of ectomycorrhizal fungi to the formation and mobilzation of soil organic matter. The formation will be analysed in a soil bioreactor, whereas the mobilzation will be investigated using a plant-fungus-soil-system. Analytic tools cover GC-MS and HPLC.
