I work in the crossfield between plants, soil microorganisms and soil microfauna.
Specifically, I address
- the impact of microbial communities on plant pathogenic nematodes
- interactions between plants and belowground phytomicrobiomes
- the significance of nematode and protist predation for phytomicrobiome composition and functioning
Master's thesis projects
I supervise thesis projects on, but not limited to
- biology and management of plant pathogenic nematodes
- biological control of plant pathogenic nematodes
- the significance of root microbiomes on plant growth
