African Soil Microbiome Mapping

African Soil Microbiome Mapping

  • Accelerate discovery of African Soil Microbiota 
  • To describe the bacterial, fungal and mycorrhizal fungal taxonomic richness variations across agroecosystems. 
  • Identify core-microbiome, indicator species, hub taxa of each soil type, geographical location and agroecosystems. 
  • To determine the ecological processes influencing the distribution of microbial taxa and changes in community structures. 
  • To develop a statistical predictive model of soil microbial richness and soil fertility and health 
  • Create a database of African Microbiota
