Soil microbes and rhizosphere interactions
My research looks at the influence of changed rainfall patterns on microbial interactions in the rhizosphere. I'm also interested in changes in soil microbial communities in response to disturbance or elevation in natural and urban ecosystems.
- Rhizosphere
- Soil microbial ecology
- mycorrhizal fungi
- Plant-soil interactions
- soil bacterial communities
