Dr. Anikó Seres - MATE Research
Overview
Dr. Anikó Seres is an Associate Professor at the Department of Zoology and Ecology in the Institute for Wildlife Management and Nature Conservation, Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Gödöllő, Hungary.
She is mainly interested in soil biota, especially soil animals, soil processes, and their changes during human activities. Different agricultural activities contribute to changes in soil quality both chemically and physically. The ecotoxicology of soil animals investigates the effects of different xenobiotics on soil animal mortality, reproduction, behavior, and changes in ecosystem services as a summary of soil processes. She investigates the effects of solar panels, agricultural chemicals, drugs, modelled drought treatments, and tillage practices on soil organisms.
She authored and co-authored 27 research articles in high-impact scientific journals and 2 books or book chapters as co-author. Her Hirsch index currently is 9.
She is a member of the Hungarian Society of Biology.

Projects
Effect of different drought treatments on the decomposition of dead organic matter in soil; project identifier: OTKA K 142926
OTKA Project, 2022-2026, ongoing; project role: Participant Researcher. Since 2014, we have been investigating organic matter decomposition in dry grassland soils in Fülöpháza under different simulated drought treatments together with colleagues from the Centre for Ecological Research. http://nyilvanos.otka-palyazat.hu/index.php?menuid=930&num=143697&keyword=kroel-dulay+gy%C3%B6rgy
Impact of solar parks on biodiversity and ecosystem services of soil fauna; project identifier: OTKA FK 143697
OTKA Project, 2022-2026, ongoing; project role: Participant Researcher. In this new project, we are investigating the potential soil biological impacts of solar parks with colleagues from the Centre for Ecological Research. We compare the diversity and disturbance of soil under and between panels and on a control plot. http://nyilvanos.otka-palyazat.hu/index.php?menuid=930&num=142926&keyword=gall%C3%A9+r%C3%B3bert
