Graduate Student Email: kelly.mccrum@uga.edu Lab: Chung Lab | Miller Plant Sciences & Anderson Lab | Davidson Life Sciences Research Research Areas: Ecology & Global Change Fungal Biology Evolutionary Biology Research Interests: My research interests include how plant and microbial communities are adapting to changing climatic conditions. Studying local adaptation and plant-soil feedbacks may provide information on the resiliency of ecosystems, and help us better protect threatened plant populations and communities.
