Please join us for a conversation with Bella Johnson. Bella recently obtainer her Master's degree from NMSU from the Department of Anima and Range Sciences.
There she studied under the guidance of Dr. Magda Garbowski in the Functional and Restorative Ecology Lab.
Her thesis work dives into how the functional traits of common western restorative plant species interact with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in ideal watering conditions and under extreme water stress.
Her goal was to understand which of these restoration plant species were dependent on AMF for both growth and survival by studying the plant species functional traits.
