project abstract
By integrating field-based ecological restoration with remediation and molecular tools, this research aims to develop scalable protocols for reintroducing native mycorrhizal fungi in contaminated, fire-affected landscapes. Outcomes will inform nature-based remediation strategies, and contribute to climate-resilient restoration practices in fire-prone regions globally.
