Maï Bergmann

Maï Bergmann is a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Hamburg, Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences, within the Department of Biology. She is based at the Institute of Wood Sciences, Functional Forest Ecology group, located at Ohnhorststraße 18, Room 3.012. Contact: +49 40 42816-519, mai.bergmann@uni-hamburg.de.

Her research focuses on the ecology of temperate forests, specifically the interactions between tree roots and mycorrhizal fungi. She investigates mycorrhizal community composition, root functional traits, and nutrient cycling processes including root decomposition and exudation. This work lies at the intersection of forest ecology, soil microbiology, and ecosystem science, emphasizing how symbiotic relationships drive forest sustainability and resilience.
