Dr. Anja Miltner
Areas of Expertise & Research
My research focuses on the transformation of organic compounds (both natural and anthropogenic) in complex environmental systems, particular in soils. I am using incubation experiments with isotopically (both radioactive and stable) labelled compounds to trace the fate of selected compounds and to reveal microbial processes in soil. I am particularly interested in
- contribution of microbial biomass to the formation of soil organic matter
- contribution of microbial biomass to the formation of non-extractable residues of contaminants in soil
- reasons and consequences of limited bioavailability of xenobiotics in soil for risk assessment
- effects of changing redox potential and water contents on the transformation of organic compounds
- interactions between soil microorganisms and soil physical properties
