Over
What will future Earth look like and how will it function? I’m working to understand how global changes will impact things like plant, animal, and microbial diversity, disease transmission, and carbon flux and storage under future conditions.
Biografie
Elizabeth Borer, an honorary NIOO fellow, is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and Wardle Chair for Microbial Ecology in the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior at the University of Minnesota, USA. Borer’s research focuses on quantifying how global changes, including land clearing, atmospheric pollution, and species invasions and extinctions, change the composition and function of the world's ecosystems. She studies the effects of these human changes on plant and animal biodiversity, ecosystem processes, disease transmission, and the identity and function of microbes inhabiting individuals (the "microbiome").

De Honorary Fellows van het NIOO-KNAW
Het NIOO-KNAW werkt samen met vele onderzoekers in binnen- en buitenland. Een speciale categorie vormen de Honorary Fellows. Vanuit hun eigen instituut of universiteit versterken zij met NIOO-collega's het werkveld door kennis en ideeën te delen. Het betekent ook regelmatig samen onderzoek doen bij het NIOO, nieuwe projecten opzetten of onderzoeksresultaten publiceren. Dit zijn onze negen talentvolle Honorary Fellows.
