Relationship between community composition of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and mycorrhiza functioning: We utilize simplified experimental systems to follow how composition of AMF communities relates to the mutualistic functioning of mycorrhizas across a range of stress conditions.
Communities of AMF in arable soils: I am interested in native AMF communities and the functioning of mycorrhizas in agricultural systems. Currently, we focus variability in symbiotic relationships among pea genotypes.
Functional traits of AMF: How do AMF species differ in their functional traits, and what are the consequences for the establishment of their communities and mycorrhiza functioning?
