Postdoctoral researcher , IRD, Montpellier. Robert Griffiths. Rechercher :. Menu Principal Le labo Qui sommes nous? Qui contacter? Qui sont nos partenaires? My research ranges from understanding the precise mechanisms of soil carbon storage in natural ecosystems to a more practical understanding of soil health indicators and function in agricultural ecosystems. The main methods I use are microbial techniques such as enzyme assays, DNA metabarcoding, microbial respiration, and isotope labelling.
