  2. Studying the hidden world beneath our feet

    Blog PhD in progress
    When we think about agriculture, we usually focus on what grows aboveground: the golden wheat, the green grasslands, and the tractors in the field. But beneath our feet there is a whole hidden world that is just as important. In only 1 gram of soil, there’s more living organisms than people in the world, and together, these complex communities of bacteria, fungi, protists, nematodes, earthworms, microarthropods, and many others, keep soils functioning and productive.

  10. Hedges also have a positive effect underground

    Press release
    More biodiversity in the soil, and a buffer against drought? Try planting hedges in the agricultural landscape. The positive effect above ground on insects and birds, for example, was already known, but there are many more effects underground. With new research, a team from the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) has shown that hedges have a very unique and complex microbial soil life, with a starring role for fungi.
