Understanding fungal diversity and functioning in forest soils using molecular and stable isotope approaches

该项目旨在利用新的分子、稳定同位素和生理学方法研究森林土壤中真菌群落的结构和功能。这将为森林土壤真菌群落的多样性和功能之间的联系以及这些生物在生态系统过程中的重要性提供新的见解。此外，这项开创性的研究将促进方法学的发展和完善，为未来真菌生态学的研究铺平道路。正在进行的合作将产生高质量的联合出版物，并为早期职业研究人员在充满活力的研究环境中获得国际经验提供重要机会。

The project aims to investigate fungal community structure and functioning in forest soils using novel molecular, stable isotope and physiological approaches. This will provide new insights into the linkage between diversity and functioning in forest soil fungal communities and the importance of these organisms in ecosystem processes. In addition, this pioneering research will facilitate development and refinement of methodologies that will pave the way for future investigations of fungal ecology. The on-going collaboration will produce high quality joint publications and provide significant opportunities for early career researchers to gain international experience in a dynamic research environment.
