Our research focuses on the role of soil processes in the carbon, nutrient and energy cycles of ecosystems, and on how these processes are altered by climate change and land use. The focus is on the interactions between plants, microorganisms, the soil matrix in the rhizosphere and dissolved organic matter, as well as their significance for processes at the ecosystem and landscape levels. Particular emphasis is placed on biogeochemical processes at the interface between terrestrial and marine ecosystems, as well as under extreme environmental conditions.
