We study terrestrial ecosystems to better understand how soil microorganisms regulate global biogeochemistry and predict responses to environmental changes. We are a group of microbial ecologists, ecosystem ecologists, biogeochemists, and modellers, who have a shared vision, and under the umbrella of "Microbial Biogeochemistry in Lund", combine empirical and modelling approaches to accomplish this.
Our research focuses on the study of soil carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems around the globe; from arctic tundra to tropical rainforests and semiarid grasslands. We are specifically interested in aspects influencing the spatial and temporal variability in microbial community function and structure, and their responses to stress, with special emphasis on environmental factors such as soil moisture, temperature, limiting nutrients, salinity and pH, and anthropogenic factors such as tillage, fertilization and metal contamination. We study the microbial control and environmental dependence of ecosystem functions using field and laboratory experiments, and then incorporate validated ecological insights into models operating at different scales.
