Melanie Taylor
Graduate Student (PhD in Ecology)
M.S. Ecology, University of Georgia
B.S. Biology, Concord University
I am interested in understanding drivers of tree species assemblages in eastern North American forests and how changes in these assemblages impact ecosystem function.
Jordan Argrett
Graduate Student (PhD in Ecology; co-advised with Dr. Anny Chung)
B.S. Environmental Sciences, Emory University
My primary research interests lie in plant-soil-microbe interactions and their potential impact on plant and soil community structure. My current interests lie in understanding how hemiparasitic plants affect nutrient cycling, aboveground plant competition, and belowground microbial community assembly.
Erik Jones
Graduate Student (PhD in Ecology)
B.A. Biology and Environmental Science, University of Minnesota Morris
I am interested in understanding how fungi associated with plant roots shape organic matter in soils. My research focuses on the impact of trees like oaks and pines, and their ectomycorrhizal fungal partners, on the quantity and composition of soil organic matter in woodlands of the southeastern United States.
Angie Romano
Graduate Student (PhD in Plant Biology)
B.S. Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, University of Florida
M.S. Museum and Field Studies, University of Colorado
I am broadly interested in the functional diversity and distribution of ectomycorrhizal fungi. More specifically, I am interested in how these traits change with ecological regime shifts, such as the reintroduction of fire to the ecosystem.
