Note:
1.1.1: The purpose of this collaborative research project is to build on a LTREB long-term “press” experiment that manipulates exotic plant invasion to address unexplored mechanisms of mutualism reorganization within four AIMS: I: Determine intransient, long-term patterns of AM and pathogenic fungal communities and how they are reorganized by invasion. II: Determine how reorganization of plant-AM fungal mutualisms affects plant physiology at the molecular level. III: Determine the extent to which reorganization of plant-AM fungal mutualisms and/or soil nutrient availability impacts plant performance. Experimentally addressing these aims will allow IV: Multimodal integration to scale mutualism reorganization to demography. Together, the proposed project will address fundamental questions in the life sciences.
