We are looking for collaboration opportunities in project consortia and would like to offer our expertise in using soil organisms (microorganisms and soil fauna) as indicators for assessing the effects of different soil management practices on soil biological activity and soil health.
Our research subject area is focused mainly on the study of abundance, diversity and structure of soil organisms (microorganisms, nematodes, collembollans, mites and earthworms) in natural and man-made ecosystems (e.g. agroecosystems, burned lands, urbanized areas) and their role in the functioning of the soil.
A very important part of our research concerns the interactions in the soil web, with particular emphasis on the mutual relationships between microorganisms, soil fauna and vegetation, and their influence on the primary production, decomposition or soil respiration.
Main research topic: Using of soil organisms for assessing the effects of different soil management practices and systems (e.g., no-till, conservation tillage (strip-till) versus conventional deep tillage; perennial monoculture versus crop rotation; organic versus conventional tillage) on the soil biological activity and soil health.
