Plant, Animal, and Soil Sciences Department
My main research focuses on ecology of disturbed lands - both natural (predominantly glacial, floodplain, and burned systems) and anthropogenic (predominantly mining). We try to understand the natural processes and mimic those during revegetation. Much of my current research focuses on mycorrhizae - the symbioses among plant roots and certain fungi in which the fungi help the plant absorb nutrients and moisture from the soil and the plant provides the fungi with an energy source (C).
