Does symbiosis contribute resilience against multiple stressors? Mutualism response to stress

Core Project

Tony Yannarell and Kevin Ricks study how symbiotic partnerships respond to multiple environmental stressors. Can these partnerships adapt to respond, or do they break down under pressure?
Effect of long-term fertilization on the evolution of legume-Rhizobia symbiosis

Core Project

This project studies how long-term nitrogen addition impacts legume-rhizobium symbiosis using the Morrow Plots to understand effects on nitrogen fixation, aiding sustainable agriculture.
