Gabriele Berg is a biologist, biotechnologist and university lecturer in Environmental and Ecological Technology at the Technical University of Graz. Her research emphasis is on the development of sustainable methods of plant vitalisation with Bioeffectors and molecular analysis of microbial processes in the soil, particularly in the Rhizosphere.
Frau Berg‘s research is focused on the environmental biotechnology, in particular the development of sustainable biotechnological methods to improve the microbiological performance potential of soil that has been intensively used for agriculture, and for biological plant protection with plant fortifiers and Biostimulants.
Gabriele Berg has been an author on 289 publications which have been cited 10.998 times; her h-Index is 56, there follows a small selection of this literature.
