Fungal Ecology and Biogeography
KOHOUT LAB
We try to understand the drivers behind fungal species distribution and how fungi will respond to various aspects of global change. Besides that, we aim to understand role of fungi and other microorganisms in ecosystem processes. Our work aim to create scientific fundaments to future ecosystem managements from local to global scales.
