Terra Lubin

My research focuses on interactions of the plant community with soil microbes, particularly in grasslands and grassland restorations in North America. I want to understand impacts of these interactions on plant communities in a variety of biotic and abiotic environments in order to better translate ecological research of plant-soil feedbacks into practical applications for restoration. One of my goals is to find ways to increase communication of knowledge and data between different research disciplines, and between ecologists and restoration practitioners.
