Follow on LinkedInDr. Ramesha H. Jayaramaiah is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Murdoch University, affiliated with SoilsWest and the Centre for Sustainable Farming Systems. His scientific research focuses on unraveling the complex interactions between aboveground plant diversity and belowground soil biodiversity. Adopting a holistic, systems-based approach, his work explores how soil microbial communities and soil fauna regulate key ecosystem functions—including nutrient cycling, soil health, and natural pest suppression—that underpin sustainable agriculture. His research provides critical mechanistic insights that directly inform land management practices and policy frameworks aimed at enhancing soil fertility, crop productivity, and resilience to climate change. A central theme of his work is highlighting the often underappreciated role of belowground biodiversity in sustaining ecosystem functions and enhancing agroecosystem resilience. By integrating molecular-scale biochemical processes with ecosystem-level dynamics, his research uniquely bridges the gap between soil biology and ecosystem management, offering actionable solutions for sustainable agriculture in the face of global environmental challenges.
