The impacts of nitrogen availability and seasonal dynamics on plant-microbial interactions affecting C and N cycling in coniferous forest soils

Lead Institution

Institute of Microbiology of the CAS

Principal Investigator

Petr Baldrian

Project type

FICUS Research

Coniferous forests are widely distributed in temperate and boreal biomes and the fact that they efficiently store large stocks of carbon makes them globally important. Decomposer and mycorrhizal…

In situ tracking of carbon flow through the soil microbiome

Lead Institution

Institute of Microbiology of the CAS

Principal Investigator

Petr Baldrian

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Forest soils represent an environment with high carbon (C) stocks and important hotspots of C turnover and microorganisms are the most important actors in this process. The understanding of the C…

The influence of nitrogen and carbon availability on the dominant microbial communities and their metabolites in a coniferous forest soil

Lead Institution

Limited Scope

The proposed metabolomics analysis will supplement already available data which explores the influence of available C and N in forest soil on microbial community composition and organic matter…
