Deputy Science Direstor of IEE RAS, Corresponding Member of the RAS Alexey Vladimirovich Tiunov will give a lecture “Soil Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functions” on October 29 at the Nauka 0+ Open Week in Shenzhen.
Soil biodiversity plays a critical role in maintaining fertility and the global carbon cycle. In modern consciousness, “diversity” implies environmental well-being, but we must not forget that soil biota can be dangerous for humans and their farms.
The lecture will examine the key “positive” and “negative” functions of soil biota, some of which remain extremely little studied.
The NAUKA 0+ festival takes place from October 24 to 29 as part of the II Festival of Knowledge, Science and Culture at the University of Moscow State University-PPI in Shenzhen, China. The broadcast will be available in the VKontakte community.
