What We Do
Research Focal Areas
- Whole plant responses to soil resource stress
- Rhizosphere microbial interactions
- Biodiverse agroecosystems and plant competition
- Root contributions to soil health and agroecosystem services
Research Methods
Various field, lab, and computational techniques are used to complete studies. Work in our lab draws from various methodologies:
- Plant ecophysiology
- Root physiology
- Root multiomics (microbiome, metabolomics, and transcriptomics)
- Soil ecology and biogeochemistry
- Bioinformatics
