Close collaboration between The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and CML
On 19 April, CML researcher Nadia Soudzilovskaia gave an invited talk at The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) about her VIDI-funded work on impacts of mycorrhizas on ecosystem functioning. During this project she will closely collaborate with GBIF colleagues.
Nadia’s work links detailed field and laboratory experiments on mycorrhizal involvement into soil carbon cycling to global distribution of mycorrhizal plants and fungi. She aims to understand how distinct types of mycorrhizas link above and belowground diveristy patterns and theredue affect global soil carbon budgets.
GBIF
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is a world largest, intergovermentally funded, infrastructure enabling access to global biodiversity data. Nadia closely collaborates with GBIF colleagues, using GBIF collections of species geography to examine links between above and belowground biodiversity at different scales. With this she actively contributes to GBIF involvement into global functional diversity research projects, such as IPBES and GLOBIS-B projects.
