About

Matthias Erb is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Plant Sciences, University of Bern, Switzerland. His research focuses on plant-soil interactions, microbial ecology, and the ecological impacts of environmental changes on montane vegetation. Recent publications include studies on the dynamics of maize root bacteria, volatile emissions in plant communities, and the effects of benzoxazinoids in agricultural systems.
