Dr Caruso’s research focuses on the processes that structure soil biodiversity and plant-soil interactions in space and time. He has mostly worked on aboveground-belowground linkages, especially plants and soil and the ecological networks they form, and how terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem functioning respond to perturbations such as extreme drought and flooding. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications, Dr Caruso has secured a number of research grants from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, DFG, NERC, Royal Society, Leverhulme Trust, the EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie programme, Invest NI, the EU, Research Ireland (SFI), and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) of the government of Ireland.
