Peter’s expertise lies in Plant Ecology and Biodiversity and is particularly interested in studying the complex networks of relationships between organisms and their environment, and how these interactions shape community structure and organisation, as well as ecosystem functioning. His research focuses not only on understanding the factors that influence species composition, diversity and abundance in ecological communities, but also the processes that drive the distributions of species at both fine and coarse spatial scales, as well as temporally.

Agri-ecosystems put a lot of pressure on the soil in efforts to produce more yield. Although it's documented that soil biodiversity dictates the aboveground biodiversity, very little information is available on the role of soil mycorrhiza in promotion of plant health.

I am currently a 2nd year MSc. Plant Protection, and my research focuses on the effects of different fertilizer levels on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in different corn varieties under different water regimes. This research aims to evaluate the potential impacts of different nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under different water conditions to ascertain the best soil nutrient addition methods that can help sustain soil microbiome functioning and diversity.

Pesquisador de doutorado com foco na interação entre fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMA) e grandes culturas, especificamente o milho. Minha pesquisa investiga o papel desses simbiontes na mitigação do estresse hídrico, avaliando parâmetros fisiológicos e bioquímicos que conferem maior resiliência às plantas frente a cenários de escassez de água e mudanças climáticas.

Postdoctoral researcher studying how soil fungal communities interact with other members of the soil microbiome and how the outcome of these interactions influences ecosystem processes. Passionate about Fungi, my main research interests are the diversity, ecology, and evolution of these organisms and how they interact with their surrounding environment.

My research focuses on understanding plant-microbe interactions under global change. Specifically, I am working on building a mechanistic understanding of how nutrient enrichment affects mycorrhizal colonization and root traits across plant functional groups in grasslands.

I am a PhD student studying the fundamental and functional role of Mucoromycotina fine root endophytes (MFRE) in plant phosphorus uptake.

I am a soil microbiologist with a chemical background, studying how AMF adapt to diverse environmental conditions and interact with other soil microorganisms. My research integrates soil chemistry and microbial ecology to uncover mechanisms shaping belowground networks, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem resilience, supporting SPUN’s mission to map and protect underground biodiversity.

Soil Biodiversity and Carbon Dynamic

I study how to optimize the cultivation of the whole diversity of indigenous mycorrhizal communities as well as develop novel methods for measuring their development. I investigate plant host specificity and preference to maximize positive agronomic outcomes from inoculation with diverse mycorrhizal mixes.

I'm a Research Technician at the Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology (DBIOS) at the University of Turin, where I study microbial communities (especially fungi) associated with different environments and substrates using molecular investigation techniques.

I'm interested in mycorrhizal nutrient dynamics

I am a postdoctoral researcher in ecology focused on ecophysiology, behaviour, metabolism and energy use across organisms. I study how aquatic organisms respond to environmental stressors through energy trade-offs and foraging strategies. In STIGE Climaquiferi at CNR IRET (Lecce), I investigate subterranean stygofauna and explore fungal energy dynamics in underground ecosystems.

I am a microbial ecologist specializing in plant-microbe interactions and soil biogeochemistry. My work uses stable isotope probing, bioinformatics, molecular biology, and soil chemistry to better understand how microbial physiology, traits, and community dynamics influence soil biogeochemical cycles.
