Research Description
The goal of my research is to assess how the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi contribute to plant diversity, soil microbial community function, and how these interactions may be leveraged to benefit the restoration of native habitats threatened by invasive species and environmental stress.
