Plants & Soil: In this episode of Key To My Research, we discover how soil, often overlooked, holds the key to understanding and protecting our environment. Our Guest: Prof. Dr. Michaela Dippold. She shares her lifelong fascination with nature, which began on her family farm, and how it led her to explore the hidden world of soil. Learn about the vital connections between plants and soil, the role of microbes, and the ancient symbiosis of mycorrhizal fungi that helps crops survive in harsh conditions. We also dive into her research on the impact of climate change on agriculture, the importance of carbon capture, and how wildfires disrupt ecosystems.

About Prof. Dr. Michaela Dippold: Prof. Dr. Dippold is professor of Geo-Biosphere Interactions at the Department of Geosciences at the University of Tübingen. She specializes in the relationship between plants and the connection they form to soil via their roots.
