Why is there greater plant diversity where there is more moisture, could pathogens be involved?
I am a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Robi Bagchi. I am broadly interested in plant-microbe interactions and how they shape forest communities. My research focuses on the effect of precipitation on plant-pathogen interactions along the Isthmus of Panama.
