Research Description
My research largely focuses on leveraging plant-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal relationships to inform ecosystem restoration efforts. I am especially curious about how changes in disturbance regimes and climatic conditions impact the behavior of these mutualisms. I leverage both field and lab techniques to answer these questions.
