Video 2 - High Performance Organism Soil
Based on long-term ecosystem research, soil ecology and ecological theory we are working on sustainable solutions for a healthy environment. Main research areas are precautionary assessment of environmental hazards, interactions between primary producers and soil animals and their impact on carbon cycling.
Our current focus is on combination effects of contaminants, in particular pesticides, in aquatic and terrestrial systems. In long-term outdoor mesocosm experiments, we investigate interactions with nanomaterials and temperature extremes.

03.03.2025: Soil ecology continues! We are extremely happy to learn that Dr. Borbála Szabó, who stayed with us between 2022 and 2024 via a Humboldt scholarship, will continue her career with Senckenberg Görlitz. From May onwards, she will work in an exciting 3-year project entitled "Trends in hidden taxa and habitats – understanding the extent and impact of the biodiversity crisis (TrenDiv)".

16.01.2025: Congratulations!!! Today, Olivia Roithmeier successfully defended her doctoral thesis on "Effects of pyrolytic biochar on soil properties, Collembola, mites and seed performance". We are happy that now she can fully concentrate on protecting soils in her important job at the Federal Envionmental Agency - and spend more time with her family.
02.12.2024: Oh Happy Day! We just learned that Jonas Fischer's DFG proposal will be granted! So, next to his own position (which will be funded through other sources) he will have a PhD student and ample resources to study f for three years in Christina Roggatz' group “Radical formation by copper application in agriculturally relevant clay-rich soils and its ecotoxicological consequences”. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
