简介

My research program has addressed protection of plants and soils from environmental stresses. Specific emphases: mycorrhizal symbiosis and plant drought biology (articles) root-to-shoot signaling of soil drying in agronomic and forest species (articles) physiological determinants of plant drought tolerance and avoidance (articles) tree response to climate change Recently we have been working in meta-analysis to provide some quantitative perspective across the literature in our research areas.

职业经历

The impacts of mycorrhizal colonization of soils are similar to those of introducing no-till practices: restored soil carbon, reduced soil erosion, and better soil quality. Farming accounts for an annual erosion loss of over 3 billion metric tons of soil in the US. Widespread use of mycorrhizae that reduced erosion by even just 1% -- a very conservative estimate, given the dramatic effect of the symbiosis on soil structure -- could translate into saving tens of millions of metric tons of soil annually in our nation. Mycorrhizal impact on remediation of the global greenhouse gas problem is also sizeable. A 10% increase in crop gas exchange from managing mycorrhizal symbiosis -- again a conservative estimate -- on just 5% of US land would increase carbon sequestration by 3.3 million metric tons ($66 million value) per year. Mycorrhizal improvement of soil structure and gas exchange also impacts plant health, through soil water infiltration, water holding capacity and plant drought resistance.
