Sampling and characterisation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities from native and agricultural ecosystems in New Zealand. Use of greenhouse experiments to investigate the link between these sampled communities and resilience in plant-soil ecosystems.

I am a soil microbial and chemical ecologist fascinated by plant-soil-microbe interactions. My goal as a researcher is to explore the complex interactions between aboveground plants and the soil and microbes belowground in tropical ecosystems in the context of climate change.

Mes travaux de recherches portent sur l'ingénierie microbienne pour restaurer les sols dégradés au Bénin. En exploitant les microbes forestiers (états de référence), je développe des biofertilisants indigènes. L’objectif est de rétablir la productivité agricole pour assurer la sécurité alimentaire tout en contribuant à pallier la déforestation.

My research focuses on assessing how eco-friendly soil amendments affect soil microbiomes thereby enhancing soil health. By focusing on the dynamics of soil microbial communities, my research contributes to the broader understanding of nutrient cycling and the role of organic inputs in promoting resilient, microbially active soils for sustainable agriculture.

My main research interests revolve around infectious diseases, and I employ a variety of techniques such as evolutionary genomics, molecular taxonomy, field ecology, bioinformatics, and experimentation to investigate the clinical and environmental factors driving these diseases.

I reach and teach over 2.5 million followers about the fantastic variety of mushrooms and fungi via my FascinatedByFungi accounts on social media. My academic research focused on the microbial ecology of wine fermentations and process control.

My name is Helbert, a researcher from Research Center for Ecology and Ethnobiology, National Research and Innovation Agency, Indonesia. My work focuses on ectomycorrhizal fungal communities in Indonesian tropical forests, especially on their biodiversity and ecology. My goal is to map ectomycorrhizal fungi distribution in Indonesian forests.

I focus my research on fungi diversity and the plant-fungi interactions in the Tropical Forest.

Biogeography for conservation of threatened species/ecosystems. Systematics, taxonomy and evolutionary biology.

Ian’s research investigates the role mutualistic symbionts have in maintaining the functionality of ecological networks, and the ecophysiology of network members, under extreme and changing conditions.  He investigates these topics through the experimental manipulation of common mycorrhizal networks in field conditions, through meta-analyses, and modeling and simulation.

I am interested in plant-microbe interactions, specifically fungal symbioses in marine and coastal systems, and I am passionate about bridging the local research to implementation gap by exploring real world applications for conservation and restoration. Currently, I am investigating the seagrass microbiome, specifically associated marine fungi, on O’ahu, Hawai’i.

My lab research focuses on fungal taxonomy and ecology, mycorrhiza studies, mushroom cultivation. It focusses on the challenge of how to describe, document, understand and protect all fungal biodiversity and cultivate medicinal mushrooms. Also, aims to understand how climate change drivers influence plant-fungi interactions and plant structure.

Fascinated by fungi since childhood, I’m a mycologist at the University of Vienna. I teach fungi, algae, mosses, and ferns to students. My research barcodes Austrian dung and soil fungi, contributes to IUCN Fungal Red List, bridges science and policy, and, with the Austrian Mycological Society, runs mapping and citizen‑science projects.

I study the temporal interactions between grasslands plant and their associated microbial communities under drought conditions.

Does microbial diversity helps us understand processes in soil carbon and nitrogen cycles? What are the best quantiative and analytical methods to answer this question?

Interested in interactions of mycorrhizal fungi with other soil microorganisms

Looking at nature recovery through the lens of mycorrhiza, and their responses to regenerative agriculture and Rewilding.

I work on the taxonomy, systematics, and biogeography of macrofungi, and conservation biology more broadly.

Understanding of the development of plantations by analysing above and below-ground aspects in the Philippines.

Climate change effects on soil carbon cycling in tropical soils.

I investigate how arbuscular common mycorrhizal networks mediate plant interactions among tallgrass prairie plant species and/or invasive plants like Canada thistle. We are also currently collaborating on a project to investigate how inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi at different densities may affect post-agricultural restoration efforts of tallgrass prairies.

I am interested in studying the impact of global change factors on soil biodiversity, and how this relates to ecosystem functions and stability. I am particularly interested in fungal communities and their role in soils, as well as the interaction of plant and fungal communities. I mainly use high throughput sequencing in combination with field or greenhouse experiments to characterize fungal community responses to different global change factors.

Identifying key players and patterns in networks of microorganisms with an emphasis on plants, soil, and mapping.

I collaborate with several PNW fungal taxonomic specialists to identify and document species and their distributions at the northern limit of the Pacific Coastal Rainforest and transition zone into Boreal forests.

Microbial ecologist notoriously curious about the life of fungi. I currently work with microfluidic systems to study behaviors and interactions of filamentous fungi.

Estudio de la trama trófica de micro y meso organismos edáficos en sistemas en transición agroecológica, tanto en sistemas extensivos como intensivos de la región pampeana argentina.

Applied Machine learning in OMICS based bioremediation of oil polluted soil in Ogoniland: It explores using applied machine learning techniques to enhance bioremediation of oil-polluted soil in Ogoniland. It focuses on leveraging omics technologies, to better understand microbial activity and optimize processes for cleaning contaminated environments, improving ecological restoration efforts.

I am a mycologist and work on fungal diversity, ecology, taxonomy, climate change and restoration, as well as fungal pathology in Cameroon. I am also interested in pursuing postdoctoral research in mycorrhizal science and building a career in this area.
