About Nicole
I am interested in how free-living microbes and mycorrhizal fungi affect trees in the face of drought. Specifically, I aim to see whether microbes are adapting, acclimating, or undergoing community shifts in response to long-term drought, which can help them confer physiological benefits to their adjacent trees.
