Published: 06 May 2019

Tino Colombi, postdoc at the Department of Soil and Environment, has received a scholarship from the foundation Carl XVI Gustaf's 50-year foundation for science, technology and the environment to investigate how the roots form affects plant production in a drier climate.

The scholarship will be awarded on May 8 in the Bernadotte Library in the Royal Palace.

- It's great to have received this scholarship! I will use it to work with researchers in France. It is a very important research area now, to find out what happens to plant production in a drier climate, says Tino Colombi.
