My current research focuses on soil borne beneficial interactions derived from incorporating a perennial legume (A. glabrata Benth.) into grazed perennial grasslands (P. notatum Flugge) common to Florida and the southeastern United States. I am particularly interested in the role of these interactions for adding resilience during drought. I utilize methods like deep soil coring and hydroponic screening and molecular methods (NGS, qPCR) to study plant-plant and soil microbe-plant interactions.
