Fungi are important to soil functions such as provision of food, maintenance of biodiversity, nutrient cycling and carbon storage. Currently, soils are degraded due to human activities and their functions lost. In this project, Emilia Hannula (CML) will study how fungal communities function and how fungal diversity affects multiple ecosystem functions. Further, she will study how we can enhance fungal communities based on their traits to restore soil functions.
