What strategies do plants use to get what they need from soil?
Invest in themselves? partner with fungi?
PhD scholarship @westsyduhie with me, @jsoilecol & @ianjwright1 exploring ecology of plant strategies (including mycorrhizas) 🌱to acquire soil resources.

New Publication Alert!
Thrilled to share our latest paper out in @FrontPlantSci. We show that silicon-mediated herbivore defences in a pasture grass is greatest under reduced CO2 @ScottJohnsonLab@EELaboratory
Check it out
WSU offering PhD scholarships. We keen on applications (international applicants welcome) in the areas of (1) How silicon supplementation affects soil
nutrient cycling and carbon capture and (2) Development of silicon intervention strategies
for sustainable pest management.
New Funded PhD Project. Delighted to be part of a team offering a new funded PhD project addressing the basis for silicon transport in wheat, especially in response to drought and herbivory. #siliceousplants
Thrilled to see our new Functional Ecology @FunEcology out verifying some of our lab findings in the field. Elevated atmospheric CO2 suppresses silicon accumulation and exacerbates endophyte reductions in plant phosphorus https://t.co/nTM32BGPlY #siliceousplants
