about

Kohout Lab primarily focuses on fungal ecology and biogeography. We try to understand the drivers behind fungal species distribution and how fungi will respond to various aspects of global change. Besides that, we aim to understand role of fungi and other microorganisms in ecosystem processes. Our work aim to create scientific fundaments to future ecosystem managements from local to global scales.

In addition to our research goals, we strive to provide a stimulating atmosphere for master’s and doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows to develop their professional and personal skills and become independent researchers.
