Overview

Dr. Gergely Boros carries out wide-ranging research activities on soil mesofauna, primarily related to enchytraeid worms. He studies the effects of different forestry treatments and the plantation of solar power stations: both have long term aftermath on soil mesofauna assemblages. Further research topics with significant impact on soil ecosystem services are decomposition of invasive species or complex relationships of soil-dwelling organisms, such as fungal spread by endozoochory. One of his latest research focuses on the investigation of the climate change induced effects of melting permafrost on soil living worms.

PERMACHILE

The presence of meltwater is essential for high mountain life. In an extremely cold, dry, and UV-radiated environment, such as permafrost soils in the Atacama desert, the adaptation, prevalence and ecology of soil organisms are good indicators of climate change-derived environmental changes.

Effect of forestry treatments on forest site, regeneration and biodiversity

Since 2014, we have compared the forestry treatments of shelterwood and continuous cover forestry. Based on two long-term experiments, we would like to answer the question of how the various forestry treatments affect the forest site, the forest biodiversity, and the regeneration of the stands.
