Plant-soil-microbe scholarship on offer at Murdoch
MURDOCH University, in partnership with Curtin University, UWA and ETH Zurich, is offering a domestic PhD scholarship to investigate plant-soil-microbe interactions in Australian semi-arid ecosystems.
The project is Unlocking the Biodiverse Recarbonising Potential of Australian Soils.
Research will examine how soil, native plant diversity and microbes influence soil carbon dynamics and stabilisation, addressing fundamental knowledge gaps required for evidence-based landscape restoration.
A PhD scholarship for the same project is also available through Curtin University.
