Hayer’s interests include the role of microbial communities in structuring plant communities and vice versa. Current Projects Using network analyses to understand how invasion of non-native plants influence microbial community interactions Using quantitative...
Research Interests Taylor is interested in Arctic permafrost carbon dynamics and how high latitude biogeochemistry and ecosystem function changes in response to rapid climate change. To quantify these processes, she uses carbon flux measurements and isotope...
Zuniga’s research focuses primarily on how plants, specifically native grasses, interact with their local soil microbial community, the significance of their association, and what implications this may have on ecosystem processes as well as global climate...
