Overview

Sara Hallin is affiliated with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Sweden. Their research primarily spans the fields of Environmental Science and Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a significant focus on the study of microbial communities, soil dynamics, and plant interactions.

Their work covers key subfields including Ecology, Plant Science, Soil Science, Pollution, and Molecular Biology. Within these, major research topics addressed by Hallin center on Microbial Community Ecology and Physiology, Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics, Wastewater Treatment and Nitrogen Removal, Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions, Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies, Soil and Water Nutrient Dynamics, and Legume Nitrogen Fixing Symbiosis.

Throughout their career, Hallin has collaborated extensively with several frequent co-authors, including Christopher M. Jones, Aurélien Saghaï, Jaanis Juhanson, Laurent Philippot, and Sana Romdhane.

Their recent published papers highlight a range of research topics and were featured in notable scientific journals:

  • "Agricultural diversification promotes multiple ecosystem services without compromising yield," 2020, Science Advances
  • "Crop cover is more important than rotational diversity for soil multifunctionality and cereal yields in European cropping systems," 2021, Nature Food
  • "Unraveling negative biotic interactions determining soil microbial community assembly and functioning," 2021, The ISME Journal
  • "Agricultural management and pesticide use reduce the functioning of beneficial plant symbionts," 2022, Nature Ecology & Evolution
  • "A tipping point in carbon storage when forest expands into tundra is related to mycorrhizal recycling of nitrogen," 2021, Ecology Letters

Hallin's work has appeared frequently in several publication venues, including:
