<p>Two of the greatest threats to soil health are a changing climate
and increasing levels of metal contaminants. A fundamental
knowledge gap exists as to how climate affects the availability of
metals in root-soil systems and whether this could improve the
remediation of contaminated soils by plants. In this project, we
will elucidate how different climate scenarios impact the mobility
of metals in the rhizospheres of metal-hyperaccumulating versus
non-accumulating plants and how that translates to
phytoremediation effectiveness. <br>
</p>
We offer an international and dynamic work environment within the
newly established research group Plant Biogeochemistry at the
Department of Environmental Microbiology at the UFZ. The PhD
candidate will be integrated into the UFZ graduate school HIGRADE. <br>
