I am studying the biodiversity of mycorrhizal fungal communities associated associated with ecosystems in Lesotho

My work focuses on tripartite interactions among bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, and plants. In particular, I investigate positive interactions among these organisms.

Overall research question is: how is the plant – soil nitrogen cycle in Montane cloud forest in Peru affected by lack of rain and clouds

1) Are plants and microbes in canopy soil and in ground soil  N or P limited ?  2) Does drought by rain removal - decrease or increase gross N mineralization ?
3) and has stronger impact in the epiphytes N uptake than in ground-living herbs ?

My work focuses on the evolutionary genetics and biochemistry of floral trait evolution and adaptation. I seek to link the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic evolution in plants to ecological functions including mutualistic interactions with other organisms.

MSc Student. Spatial distribution of AM fungal diversity and metal concentrations as a function of urban structure in Philadelphia, PA.

Microbial molecular ecology

My work involves studying and working with soil biodiversity in various degraded sites, such as rangelands, forests, and grasslands. My primary focus is on understanding how to restore and sustain these ecosystems through biological interventions.My research and activities explore the intricate relationships between living organisms in the soil, including microorganisms, fungi, bacteria, plants, and invertebrates.

María Cristina Lopez Roberts has designed projects for orchid conservation in the Bolivia 's cloud forests, where she has also researched mycorrhizal fungi of orchids endemic to the Yungas.

She is currently a professor at the Universidad Mayor Real y Pontificia de San Francisco Xavier de Chuquisaca, and is leading a study on the diversity of leaf-degrading fungi in the dry forests of Chuquisaca, Bolivia

Studies related to nutrient dynamics and organic matter decomposition; evaluation of chemical, biochemical and microbiological indicators of soil quality in semi-arid environments. Ecological studies about the effect of different disturbances on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi present in the rangelands of central-southern Argentina.

Imaging of Arbuscular mycorrhizal networks under nutrient limiting conditions

My research aims to diagnose and identify plant pathogens such as bacteria, fungi and nematodes in the crops of small and large farmers. I am also investigating the potential of beneficial microorganisms to control economic diseases affecting crops in sourthern Ecuador.

Economic Behaviour and Livestock Production in the Forestry Zones of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. Studying the various activities that are involve in each of the forestry zones and looking at the advantages

I am an ecologist studying how biotic interactions, disturbance and global change mediate community assembly of plants and soil microbes to affect emergent ecosystem functions.

Systematic and ecology of higher fungi, specially ECM. Promotion and conservation of edible species is equally a major focus.

I study novel mycorrhizal nitrogen acquisition

My research weaves Indigenous Knowledge Systems with Western scientific methods to evaluate Indigenous-led climate/culture innovative conservation, adaptation, and mitigation, as well as the ethical approach to nature-based solutions and nature-positive practices. The kinship-based regenerative landscape restoration of the Global South food systems (farmlands & forestlands) links the intersections between the kallamp ecosystem (mycorrhizal network), soil health stewardship systems, and Indigenous People (IP) and Local Communities (LCs) symbiotic-indigeneity cultural philosophy on “commonning" the rhizosphere health.

I am working on tropical African mycorrhizal fungi and their interactions with green plants. Research aspects include mycorrhizal networking, integrative taxonomy, evolution, ecology, sustainable uses and conservation of mycorrhizal fungi from tropical Africa

Currently, I work as a researcher and teaching in the Faculty of Agriculture at Tadulako University. My core research area is the functional diversity of arbuscular mycorrhiza, fungal pathogens, and agroecology.

I work with pollutants and their degradation with fungi

My research focuses on understanding the role of soil fungal communities on plant community composition in different systems (agricultural, grassland and temperate and boreal forest). In addition, I am interest in understanding how global change factors such as soil disturbance, biological invasions and climate change affect such plant-fungal interactions.

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.

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.

Dr. K. Premsagar  research expertise lies in Characterization of metal ion transporters from Neurospora crassa and their role in life cycle development and fungal biodegradation of lignocellulose. Currently working on Trichoderma metal ion transporters,  isolation of fungal biofertilizers from hill and mountain areas in Nalgonda region.

My research interests are within the nexus of ecology and evolutionary biology, studying the role of fungi in generating and maintaining biodiversity. Some current project I am currently working on include the mycobiome of the deep earth and deep sea, systematics of leotiomycetes, and fungal community assembly.

La investigación esta basada en todos los componentes de la agricultura regenerativa, no solamente las alternativas para recuperar los suelos, si no también las selección de nuevas variedades de plantas adaptadas a estas técnicas, estamos comparando las diferentes técnicas: aplicación de abonos orgánicos, sobretodo basados en bioles, compost y   y con microorganismos enriquecedores del suelo: microorganismos de montaña, controladores biológicos: Trichoderma, Bauberia bassiana, Bacillus thuringiensis, micorrizas. Las investigaciones se realizan en terrenos de los campesinos y en terrenos experimentales de Raymi Llacta, sostenida mente estamos realizando cursos de capacitación para agricultores en toda la provincia de Loja, además los resultados están publicados en la revista "Naturaleza" de la casa de la Cultura ecuatoriana núcleo de Loja, así como son expuestos en  los "Martes de Naturaleza" de la misma casa de la cultura a donde asisten autoridades, estudiantes y profesores de universidades y colegios así como periodistas. En mi tesis de doctorado de estado trabajamos sobre el poder patógeno de Helminthosporium maydis y las relaciones huesped parásito.
