Soil health and resilience (nutrient cycling, C dynamics and sequestration, soil-plant system, mitigation)
Research focuses on understanding and ehnancing soil health with the goal of achieving significant benefits within the framework of One Health. It includes studying soil nutrient cycling, how carbon is stored and moved, and the intricate interactions between soil and living organisms.
By understanding these processes, strategies to strengthen soil resilience against climate change and other stressors, particularly those caused by human activity, are developed. These strategies include practices that boost soil carbon storage, helping to mitigate climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
