Microorganisms are found throughout ecosystems, yet little is known about how they interact across soil, plants, and herbivores. This project investigates how environmental conditions and farming practices shape these microbial communities.
To better understand these relationships, the researchers explore how microbes influence plants and herbivores and investigate whether changes in the soil microbiome affect plants grown under different conditions.
This knowledge could provide a scientific basis for more sustainable soil management. In the long term, the findings may support more effective farming practices, improve crop production and quality, and strengthen agricultural resilience.
