Title: Impact of invasion by annual grasses on mycorrhizal inoculation potential in the Palouse Prairie.

Abstract: The Palouse Prairie is one of the most critically endangered ecosystems in the United States, with less than 1% of native prairie remaining. The native prairie that remains today is increasingly threatened by land-use change and invasive species. The invasive winter annual grass Ventenata dubia has become a dominant threat to native prairie remnants, as it decreases native plant species diversity and native plant species richness. Although we have seen the effects of V. dubia on native plant communities since its introduction in the 1950’s, the impact V. dubia may have on soil microbial communities such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is not known. My graduate work has focused on understanding the impact that V. dubia invasion has, if any, on AM fungi in the Palouse Prairie.

Title: Effect of mycorrhizal inoculants on the growth and nutrient uptake of Vitis vinifera
Abstract: Modern agricultural practices can reduce the abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi that occur in the soil. This decline in AM fungal abundance has led to an emerging market of mycorrhizal inoculant products to be used for the re-inoculation of AM fungi in disturbed systems. My graduate research will investigate whether mycorrhizal inoculants can establish in live field soil and improve productivity of young Vitis vinifera compared to locally sourced AM fungal inoculants.
