Overview

Markus Puschenreiter is affiliated with BOKU University in Austria. Their research primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science, with a focus on Plant Science, Pollution, Soil Science, Geochemistry and Petrology, and Ecology.

Their scholarly work covers key topics including Heavy metals in environment, Plant Micronutrient Interactions and Effects, Plant Stress Responses and Tolerance, Plant nutrient uptake and metabolism, Aluminum toxicity and tolerance in plants and animals, Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics, and Geochemistry and Elemental Analysis.

They have published research in several prominent scientific journals, with frequent contributions to Plant and Soil, Frontiers in Microbiology, Environmental and Experimental Botany, Rhizosphere, and Pedosphere.

Recent publications highlight a diverse range of studies:

  • Comparative Genomics of Microbacterium Species to Reveal Diversity, Potential for Secondary Metabolites and Heavy Metal Resistance, 2020, Frontiers in Microbiology
  • Nettle, a Long-Known Fiber Plant with New Perspectives, 2022, Materials
  • Heavy metal contents, mobility and origin in agricultural topsoils of the Galápagos Islands, 2021, Chemosphere
  • Arsenic redox transformations and cycling in the rhizosphere of Pteris vittata and Pteris quadriaurita, 2020, Environmental and Experimental Botany
  • Root foraging and avoidance in hyperaccumulator and excluder plants: a rhizotron experiment, 2020, Plant and Soil

Markus Puschenreiter has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Jakob Santner, Walter W. Wenzel, Alice Tognacchini, Thomas Prohaska, and Rebecca Hood-Nowotny. These collaborations indicate a network of shared research interests within plant and soil sciences.
