Alice Tognacchini

Dr. Alice Tognacchini is a researcher at the Institute of Soil Research within the Department of Ecosystem Management, Climate and Biodiversity at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). She holds a doctoral degree and Master of Science, and is actively involved in multiple research projects related to soil science, phytoremediation, and metal accumulation in plants.

Her research interests focus on soil science, particularly in the areas of phytoremediation, hyperaccumulating plants, metal accumulation in plants, soil health, agromining, plant fibers, and rhizosphere processes. Dr. Tognacchini's work bridges environmental science, plant physiology, and sustainable resource management.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on nickel hyperaccumulation in plants, with particular attention to rhizosphere processes, metal mobilization, and sustainable agromining systems. Her research spans from fundamental plant physiology studies to applied agricultural systems designed for metal recovery from contaminated soils.

Dr. Tognacchini has been actively involved in multiple research projects since at least 2016, with current projects extending through 2025, indicating sustained research activity in her field of expertise.

She collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions, as evidenced by her co-authorship on publications with international teams, particularly in the fields of plant-metal interactions and sustainable soil management practices.
