Earth, Air, Water, Fire: Plant-Microbe Interactions in a Changing World

Abstract
Anny Chung gives a four-part overview of active projects in her research programme on plant-microbe interactions, spanning ecosystems from the Chihuahuan Desert to longleaf pine savanna as well as agricultural systems such as biofuel sorghum. Each project examines how a different element of global change, including elevated CO2, fire and drought, shapes or disrupts the ecology of plant-microbe interactions.
