Sampling tree roots in cities throughout the Netherlands

For my first chapter, I want to obtain the root-associated microbial community of two different tree species across various locations in The Netherlands. Addressing this research question requires an extensive fieldwork period to collect samples from all over the country.

While I was digging through the soil, many people were actually surprised when I explain what I am looking for. To explain the work to a broader audience, I documented some moments of the fieldwork in a short video. Do you want to know what I was searching for? Watch the video below to find out.
