I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Soil Biology and the Soil & Water Research Infrastructure of the Biology Centre CAS in České Budějovice. My research is focused on build-up, composition, and turnover of soil organic matter, advancing my investigations that I already started during my PhD studies at the Chair of Soil Science of the Technical University of Munich, Germany. I am particularly interested in the molecular chemical composition of differently stable soil organic matter fractions and factors/processes that influence this composition. I believe that such small-scale knowledge is needed to thoroughly understand plant-soil feedbacks and be able to actively manage persistence and magnitude of the soil carbon pool.
