Professor Dr. Kasper Brodersen

Biography

Kasper Elgetti Brodersen is a visiting researcher specializing in Marine Biology at the University of Copenhagen. His research interests focus on microenvironmental ecology, particularly the role of seagrasses in altering biogeochemical processes, including their impact on the chemical conditions of the rhizosphere. Kasper studies how seagrasses release oxygen and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), thereby detoxifying surrounding sediment and mobilizing essential nutrients. His future research aims to resolve significant interactions between seagrasses and their associated microbial communities, with emphasis on the rhizosphere and leaf microenvironments, to elucidate potential mutually beneficial relationships.
