Bahar is interested in employing stable isotopes integrated with microbial techniques to examine the belowground plant carbon allocation with consequences for soil biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling in different plant-soil systems.
Bahar's research interests lie in soil biogeochemistry and plant-soil interactions, with expertise on employing stable isotopes integrated with microbiological techniques. Bahar's research also includes examining the controls on plant carbon allocation belowground, such as rhizodeposition, root respiration, and mycorrhizal association. She further evaluates the consequences of plant carbon input on soil biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling across various plant-soil systems.
She has developed a novel 13CO2 labelling method for field condition enabled her to partition the total respiration into the decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) and rhizodeposited C in a grassland soil and to track the incorporation of rhizodeposition into the formation of different organic matter pools.
