The Soil Ecology Research Group participated in the latest EcoFair of the Botany Department on March 20. The Ecology Fair is a biannual event where bachelor’s and master’s students can learn about the activities of the department’s research groups, thesis topics, and internship opportunities.

In addition to showcasing the work of the Soil Ecology Research Group, we gave students and colleagues the opportunity to explore ecoacoustics, observe nematodes under a microscope, hear stories about soil sampling and fieldwork, and solve a soil ecology-themed crossword puzzle.

Our group was represented by Inga Hiiesalu, Roland Lehemets, Jaak Pärtel, and Keily Tammaru. We met many enthusiastic students, whom we hope to see joining our research group in the near future.
