Current Research Interests

Microbial diversity – the invisible variability

  • microbial communities (bacteria, fungi) in soil
  • effects of different land use strategies and future climatic developments on the diversity and structure of microbial communities
  • seasonal dynamics
  • molecular methods (amplicon sequencing) and data analysis
