Everyone in the lab (Jan, Hannah, Noah, Scott, and Devon) got good news from Texas EcoLab. With this funding, we will:

(1) Establish the first Texas-specific collection of AM fungi.

(2) Test how plant-herbivore interactions change across a precipitation gradient.

(3) Learn how precipitation influences interactions between plants and above- and below-ground microbial communities.

(4) Determine how abiotic stress influences interactions between native and non-native species.

(5) Examine how microbe-microbe interactions on plants are influenced by different environments.

Congratulations everyone!
