PhD project: Can microbial teamwork boost the successful invasions?

Microbial invasion is widespread in nature. It refers to the process that microorganisms were introduced outside its biogeographic boundaries into a new microbial community. In my PhD project, I am studying several fundamental questions regarding microbial invasion in the soil ecosystem. What mechanisms underlie a successful invasion? How invaded microbes shape microbial community structure and diversity? Will microbial invasion affect soil ecosystem processes? Insights from this research will progress our understanding of the role of microbial invasion in the ecosystem function and stability.
