Soil Mini Conference:
Soil microbiology plays a critical role in sustaining ecosystem health and agricultural productivity. Beneath the surface of the earth lies a complex and dynamic community of microorganisms that, together with other living beings, are crucial to various soil processes. These microscopic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, archaea, protozoa, and nematodes, engage in intricate interactions with plant roots and other small animals, facilitating nutrient cycling, enhancing soil structure, and influencing plant health.The Soil Microbiology Mini-conference brought together speakers from six Portuguese universities, two collaborative laboratories, and one company.
Research-Industry Disruptor Workshop
