Lucia Fuchslueger

I'm a post doc researcher at the Centre of Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science at University in Vienna, Austria.

My research focuses on soil biogeochemisty, on the role of microbes in soil organic matter production and turnover, how microbes influence soil carbon storage and nutrient availability and how they interact, compete or collaborate with plants belowground - on small scales in the rhizosphere to large gradients from tropical to subarctic ecosystems. I am in charge of chapter 2.2.8 Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition.
