Christina Kaiser has recently received funding for a new project called "SPACE - The spatial aspect of rhizosphere priming" from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).
Predicted changes in the intensity and frequency of climate extremes urge a better mechanistic understanding of the stress response of microbially-mediated carbon and nutrient cycling processes. This study is the first comprehensive study of the resistance and resilience of microbial ...
Soil phosphatase levels strongly control the biotic pathways of phosphorus (P), an essential element for life, which is often limiting in terrestrial ecosystems. We investigated the in uence of climatic and soil traits on phosphatase activity in terrestrial systems using metadata analysis ...
Werner Mayerhofer (TER) and Marlies Dietrich (DOME) have received the 2016 Outstanding Poster and PICO Award of the European Geophysical Union (EGU) for their presentation 'Visualizing carbon and nitrogen transfer in the tripartite symbiosis of Fagus sylvatica, ectomycorrhizal fungi and soil ...
Dr. Alexander Tveit (Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø) has been awarded a grant from the Research Council for his project ’Time & Energy: Fundamental microbial mechanisms that control CH4 dynamics in a warming Arctic’. Within this project Alexander will ...
Watch Lucia Fuchslueger, former PhD student at TER, presenting her recent paper ‘Drought history affects grassland plant and microbial carbon turnover during and after a subsequent drought event’ published in the September issue of Journal of Ecology in a YouTube video.
Students and scientists of the DMES who are working in the field of soil microbial ecology and biogeochemistry met on May 20th for the first DMES Soil Ecology Workshop. This workshop was also the kick-off meeting for the new Soil ...
Three positions are available for Masters students during the summer 2016, that will provide a unique opportunity to participate in one of the research projects and become member of the scientific team at TER. Interested students should apply for ...
