Welcome! See the program in the file below:
Antti-Jussi has his thesis ready for defense on 3rd February 2017 at the Department of Physics, see: https://helda.helsinki.fi/handle/10138/173284
Pay special attention to his last paper that binds soil, soil fungi and atmospheric processes together in a great way, well done Antti-Jussi!

We have got new people in the group! Dr. Bartosz Adamczyk joined the group and takes the charge of soil chemical analysis in NITROFUNGI project. See more on Bartek’s expertise in https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bartosz_Adamczyk2
PhD student Mari Mäki started to work on VOC-fluxes in our field site in the summer 2015. See more https://tuhat.halvi.helsinki.fi/portal/fi/persons/mari-maki%283d90fe5c-5f65-4c5b-a07f-abe5d1e7985d%29.html
