معرفی
Dr. Stefanie Schulz is a Lecturer at the Technical University Munich and Deputy of the Research Unit Comparative Microbiome Analysis (COMI) at Helmholtz Munich. She leads the Working Group 'Environmental Microbiomes' and focuses on the role of microbiomes in ecosystem services, climate change impacts, and biodiversity conservation.
- Education: Diploma in Biology, PhD in Natural Sciences
Her research explores how environmental microbiomes support human health and how climate change threatens their diversity and functionality. She combines next-generation sequencing, stable isotope probing, and quantitative PCR to study microbial communities in soils and plant systems. Recent work examines phosphorus fertilizers' effects on endophytes, drought impacts on bacterial diversity, and strategies for restoring degraded soils.
Publications highlight her contributions to understanding biodiversity-stability relationships, urban soil microbiome management, and plant-soil feedback mechanisms. She actively collaborates on projects like the JenaTron experimental system for grassland studies.
