Pia Euteneuer

Dr. Pia Euteneuer is a researcher at the Experimental Farm Groß-Enzersdorf, affiliated with the Department of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). Her work focuses on sustainability in conventional and organic agriculture, climate-adapted management systems, and the role of soil biology in enhancing soil and plant health.

Research Interests

• Earthworm ecology and its ecosystem services in arable farming
• Soil health assessment under climate change scenarios
• Interaction between agroecology and plant-pathogen dynamics
• Climate-adapted tillage and crop production systems

Article Trends: Her publications emphasize earthworm monitoring methodologies, climate change mitigation through soil management, nitrogen application optimization using LCA, and the impact of cover crops on earthworm populations and soil stability. She integrates digital tools (e.g., smartphone apps) with traditional soil ecology research.

Scientific Contributions

• Principal Investigator for EU-funded project on soil moisture management
• Lead researcher for FWF project on soil biodiversity and citizen science
• Key findings linking earthworm activity to reduced Sclerotinia sclerotiorum pathogen effects

Academic Leadership: Supervises multiple Master's theses on soil-plant interactions and sustainable farming practices. Actively contributes to conferences and media outreach on soil health and climate-resilient agriculture.
