Duesseldorf, Deutschland Universität zu Köln Vollzeit

In desert ecosystems, temporal dynamics are separated by wet-dry
cycles, which are increasingly disturbed by climate change. When it
rains in a desert, the water droplets in contact with dry soils cause
the release of previously sorbed volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and induce bacteria and fungi to produce new VOCs. The desert soils
start to emit a characteristic strong ‘smell of rain‘, called ‘Petrichor‘.
Despite VOCs play important roles as bioactive microbial signal
molecules, their ecological roles and consequences for microbial
functioning in biological soil crusts of deserts are largely unexplored.
In a close interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues of the
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, and colleagues running
the VOC-SCREEN Ecotron platform at Helmholz Center Munich, the
project manipulates specific microbial VOC emission pathways and
investigates the roles of VOCs on microbial community composition
and function after rain in microbial biocrusts of the Negev desert,
Israel.
