Karolina Jörgensen
I am a soil ecologist interested in how soil organisms, mainly fungi, interact with their environment and influence soil processes such as nutrient cycling.

Presentation

During my PhD studies, my research focused on boreal forests and the role of fungi in soil nutrient cycling. Specifically I investigated how their communities and activities were affected by variations in the environment and to anthropogenically induced increases in nitrogen availablilty. To answer my research questions, I used DNA-based metabarcoding combined with measurements of enzyme activities, biomass, and carbon and nutrient stocks.

I'm currently working on projects focused on fungal responses to nitrogen deposition, climate change and forest fire.
