Insights into sustainable plant nitrogen availability is crucial for tree growth and food production. Jämtgård’s research group focus on understanding mechanisms governing plant nitrogen availability at the root-soil-microbial interface. They use microdialysis for ‘seeing’ nitrogen availability from a roots perspective, investigating key aspects of root physiology. The close collaboration with the Swedish Metabolomics Centre enable the unique competence in chemical analysis of this interface.
