Anthropogenic Disturbance on Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Community Structure
Started June 16, 2021
Abstract or project description
I aim to see how humans have impacted the processes of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), through climate change, habitat destruction, and other forms of environmental degradation. I will look at the way that AMF community structure has reacted to human disturbance worldwide using a meta-analysis approach, and put forth various solutions to best positively impact the AMF population sustainably.
