Title: Soil biotic networks – from co-occurring species to food-webs
Abstract: The use of co-occurrence networks to describe species interactions in soil ecosystems has increased exponentially in past years. However, the theory behind is not fully developed and interpretation of species co-occurrence is not well defined. On the other hand, soil ecology has strong foundation in established food-web theories and in many (older) studies interactions are usually quantified. Here, I will present the current status of the research field and discuss ways forward based on my own work using both food-web models and species co-occurrence networks.
Snacks and drinks will be available after the seminar at the Fusiebar.
