Mycorrhizas are the dual organs created by plant roots and their associated fungi that form typically beneficial partnerships. These (usually) mutualistic symbiotic relationships are super important for many ecological processes, especially in the drylands of the southwestern United States. Dr. Mike Remke and I discuss his research in how understanding the mycorrhizal relationships can be used in restoring dryland ecosystems.
Dr. Mike Remke earned a PhD in the School of Forestry at Northern Arizona University. He is now a Forest Health Research Associate with Mountain Studies Institute (check out his profile). He is also a faculty member at his undergraduate Alma Mater, Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Mike is also an awesome photographer and you can follow him on Instagram at myco_remke.
