Say hi to our new postdoc Sara Cazzaniga! Hailing from Wageningen U&R where she did a PhD in soil molecular #ecology, Sara joins us to study the role of belowground #microbiomes on global plant invasion & ecosystem restoration. We’re excited to follow her journey & wish her a great start! 🙌

Acaulospora scrobiculata, described by the legendary Jim Trappe in 1977. It is a special species for me as it was the first AMF species that I was able to identify by myself back in 80s when I sampled sand dunes in southern Brazil.
