My research focuses on plant-soil interactions for invasive and native species in European grasslands. To do this I set up greenhouse experiments to examine which plant species easily accumulate parasites and/or mutualistic symbionts. 

Selected publications: 

• Negative plant-soil feedbacks disproportionally affect dominant plants, facilitating coexistence in plant communities
• Phosphorus puts a mortgage on restoration of species-rich grasslands on former agricultural land
