Unlocking the biodiverse recarbonising potential of Australian soils
Murdoch University, in partnership with Curtin University, UWA and ETH Zurich is offering a domestic PhD scholarship to investigate plant-soil-microbe interactions in Australia semi-arid ecosystems. The research will examine how soil, native plant diversity and microbes influence soil carbon dynamics and stabilisation, addressing fundamental knowledge gaps required for evidence-based landscape restoration.
