Poster Number: 295 Presenter/Primary Author: Casey Brown Wildfire is the most common ecological disturbance in the boreal forest and recent studies predict that climate change will increase the frequency, extent, and severity of fire in Interior Alaska.
Root and arbuscular mycorrhizal exudation under different global change scenarios
Poster Number: 294 Presenter/Primary Author: Clare Kazanski In addition to their influences on plant growth, arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) also add to soil carbon (C) through their own growth and turnover.
