I am a Post-doctoral Researcher at SOWA RI of the Biology Centre CAS in České Budějovice. My research is focused on soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation mechanisms, SOC stability, protection mechanisms of SOC, fractionation of SOC, and advancing this field across different land uses. I am also working on plant-microbe interactions, biochar production, and utilization for agricultural crop production and environmental remediation.
