Stefan Geisen is a molecular soil ecologist focused on understanding the interactions within soil biodiversity, particularly the role of microbiome predators such as protists and nematodes and their bacterial and fungal prey. His research aims to elucidate the functional implications of these interactions on plant performance within diverse agricultural systems, including their effects on greenhouse gas emissions. Geisen is particularly interested in how soil microbiome predator communities are structured and their functions in the context of ongoing global changes like agricultural practices and climate warming. He employs a variety of techniques, including high-throughput sequencing, cultivation approaches, and field studies, to explore these topics, working collaboratively within a research group to advance knowledge of soil biodiversity's importance in a changing world.
