DR. LUCIA FUCHSLUEGER
​
I am an ecologist investigating soil biogeochemistry, the role of microbes for soil carbon storage and nutrient availability and how soil microbes interact, compete or collaborate with plants in the rhizosphere.
​
One of my major interests is to better understand how predicted and current climatic changes affect soil microbial communities, their activity and physiology by analyzing carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus turnover.
With my team and collaborators, we are investigating agricultural sites, a multifactorial climate change experiment in Austria, impacts of warming on grasslands in Iceland, and tropical rainforests soil across Amazonia.
