My background and Research summary:
I’m originally from the USA, but am currently in Brisbane, Australia as a Master’s student studying the below-ground interactions amongst invasive grasses and their native congeners in Australia. Many studies focus on above-ground interactions of invasive grasses in low nutrient environments, but few have focused primarily on the below-ground associations both of individual species and of invasive species in a broad sense. My research will aim to provide further understanding of certain invasive grasses for effective management, while providing knowledge on the importance that below-ground traits can have on invasive ecology
