Terrestrial ecologist - primary research interests lie in the relationship between soil biota and the structure of detrital food webs, and their influence on primary production in terrestrial ecosystems. The work encompasses the monitoring of rangeland conditions, assessing the success of rehabilitation efforts in disturbed rangelands, and the biological management of soil ecosystems for sustainable agriculture. The research emphasis in his laboratory focuses on the dynamics, diversity, and functionality of soil biota.
Ecology
In general looking to join a study with a holistic approach in which soil biota, plant cover, nutrient flow, etc., - along a climatic transect in which natural (forest, grazing sites, etc.,) and agro-ecosystems are included. Would like to take part in soil biota composition, diversity, and functionality - mainly -bacteria, fungi, and soil-free living nematodes and if requested soil microarthropods as well
