作为生产者，植物在自然生态系统中的地位至关重要。植物面临众多来自生物及非生物性胁迫的挑战，从而导致其适应性严重下降。植物对于生物及非生物性胁迫的应答机制，以及其在塑造（农业）生态系统结构中的功能，是近年来重要的科学命题。对于植物与环境，以及与生态系统中其它生物的互作关系的深入了解，有助于我们更好的实现可持续农业发展，和重塑我们赖以生存的生态系统。此外，植物介导的地上地下互作是生物学领域最为热门和前沿的研究方向。
课题组以陆地生态学为中心，通过生态基因组学，化学生态学等研究方法，结合温室，田间实验，剖析植物与土壤间互作反馈关系，进一步探索植物-土壤反馈（Plant-soil Feedbacks）对于土壤微生物群落和提高植物抗逆性（生物和非生物胁迫）的影响和应用价值。旨在阐明区域边际土壤原生植被适应障碍环境的机理，揭示地上植被多样性及覆盖率对提升区域性边际土壤生物多样性的作用。利用健康土壤有益微生物对植物免疫机制提供“启动效应”（Priming effects）提升植物应对未知胁迫的抗逆性，抵消土壤障碍因子对植物产量的制约。遵循自然生态群落演替规律，结合土壤“馈赠效应”（Soil legacy effects）理论，健康土壤接种技术(Soil inoculation)，加速消除边际土壤特异障碍因子，促进生态群落修复及区域生态系统良性循环。
近几年来，朱峰博士先后在荷兰瓦格宁根大学和荷兰生态学研究所从事科研工作，在揭示植物在食物链多层营养关系互作中的作用方面取得了一系列创新性成果，研究结果先后发表在New Phytologist，Molecular Ecology， PLoS Biology等国际知名的生物综合和生态类刊物上。2016年获得国家留学基金委颁发的“国家优秀自费留学生奖学金”。研究主要创新点如下：
