معرفی
Andreas Richter is a Professor affiliated with the Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science and the Department of Analytical Chemistry within the Faculty of Chemistry. His research focuses on soil microbiology, climate change impacts, microbial ecology, and biogeochemical processes. Key interests include soil organic carbon dynamics, microbial responses to environmental stressors (e.g., drought, warming), and permafrost thaw effects on nitrogen cycles.
He has led or co-led 12 projects, including studies on permafrost nitrogen cycling, Arctic microbial growth, and European polar research coordination. His research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and life on land.
Richter’s recent work explores drought impacts on plant-soil carbon allocation, microbial community shifts under climate change, and metatranscriptomic techniques for quantifying soil microbiomes. His activities include keynote lectures and presentations on soil systems ecology and Arctic microbiology.
His publications (285+ articles) span journals like Global Change Biology, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, and Molecular Ecology Resources, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to environmental challenges.
