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

Diversity and ecology of Glomeromycota in natural systems, agroecosystems, and forest systems through taxonomy and molecular systematics. Additionally, I am interested in analyzing the role of soil microbiota in plant growth and development, and how it influences the fitness of insects (Lepidoptera).

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.

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.

Bioecology of mycorrhizas and associated fungi in natural and human-modified environments; Taxonomic and functional diversity of mycorrhizas; Direct and indirect ecosystem services provided by mycorrhizas; Search for fungal species with biotechnological potential for application in various aspects of everyday life, remediation and restoration of natural environments; Fungi and global change.

Estudiante de doctorado. Especializada en la genética de la conservación de especies forestales en los bosques de la Sierra Juárez de Oaxaca, México. Interesada en los efectos del cambio climático y en las interacciones entre plantas y ecosistemas del suelo (hongos y bacterias).

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

Exploring the vital role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in agriculture, my research aims to understand their potential in enhancing agroecosystem sustainability. I investigate the impact of agricultural practices on AMF abundance and diversity, offering insights crucial for disentangling the complexities of a fungal-friendly approach to sustainable farming.

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.

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.

I'm investigating community compositions of arbuscular and ectomycorrhizae in mixed forest plantations in temperate and boreal zones.

Researcher to study the fungal communities and mycorrhizal associations through their roles in important soil processes in the old growth temperate forest ecosystems in Southern Chile and expertise in terrestrial biogeochemistry and soil ecology

Long-term monitoring of tropical forests of Southern Western Ghats in the context of climate change through permanent sample plots

Effects of forest management and drought on forest soils, in particular the role of soil fungi in carbon cycling

As a researcher and Geospatial Analyst, I do a lot of mapping as daily routine and work in soil, climate and forest conservation projects,

I am interested in characterizing fungal biodiversity and function along axes of disturbance using metatranscriptomic approaches, and leveraging my research to inform restoration/conservation initiatives. I am specifically interested in forests and fens of the Sierra Nevada (California) that are in peril due to rapid climactic and hydrological shifts.

The overarching objective of this study is to survey and characterize soil fungal communities in the tropical rainforests of Mo'orea Island in the context of biological plant invasion and forthcoming climate change

Horizontal and vertical precipitation effect on above-belowground carbon cycle and microbial community in upper montane forests

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.
