معرفی
Javier Ceja Navarro is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Northern Arizona University, with a joint affiliation at the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society. His research focuses on microbial ecology, particularly the role of microbiomes in environmental and plant systems.
His research interests span microbiome dynamics, rhizosphere interactions, carbon cycling in soils, and microbial degradation of plant biomass. He investigates how microbial communities influence ecosystem functions under environmental stress, including climate change and agricultural management. His work integrates metabolomics, metagenomics, and ecological modeling to uncover keystone microbial functions.
Recent publications highlight trends in plant-microbe-metabolite interactions, soil fauna contributions to carbon cycling, and microbial community resilience in marine and terrestrial systems. His studies often address sustainability challenges in agriculture and bioenergy. Notably, his 2024 PNAS paper identifies key metabolites linking rhizosphere chemistry and microbiome structure under nutrient stress.
