Meet Our Scientist

Dr. Zitzer’s extensive research and academic studies have enabled him to write and publish numerous scientific articles. His research comprises 26 works with 2,229 citations and 3,663 reads.

His master’s thesis focused on a macroscopic investigation into some aspects of actinorhizal nodulation and dinitrogenase activity of Myrica Cerifera and Elaeagnus Umbellata under simulated circannual influences, while his PHD dissertation focused on seasonal and site relationships to C2H2 reduction by actinorhizal black alder and russian olive root nodules
