Lorène Siegwart

Lorène Siegwart is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Section for Crop Sciences, at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. Her work focuses on root-soil interactions and nutrient dynamics in agricultural systems.

• PhD in Agronomy (2023) from University of Copenhagen: "The contribution of roots to soil C stocks in agroforestry systems"
• Ingénieur Agronome in Agronomy (2019) from Montpellier SupAgro

Her research investigates root architecture, plant-microbe symbiosis, and nutrient acquisition mechanisms in crops. Key areas include phosphorus uptake efficiency in heterogeneous soils, cereal root angle impacts on mineral nutrition, and agroforestry contributions to soil carbon sequestration. She integrates plant physiology, soil science, and sustainable agronomy to address fertilizer optimization challenges.

Recent 2025 publications analyze barley root distribution in cultivar mixtures and cereal root angle effects on nutrient acquisition. These studies reveal how root morphology and mycorrhizal associations enhance phosphorus foraging in patchy environments, advancing precision agriculture approaches for resource-efficient cropping systems.
