Bill Bowman

Chiara Forrester 

Graduate Student

B.A. in Plant Ecology, Hampshire College, 2016. 

Research Interests: Plant, alpine and forest ecology; Plant-fungal symbioses; Soil ecology and nutrient cycling; Effects of climate change (early snowmelt, increased N deposition) on plant communities, plant-fungal symbioses, nutrient cycling and soil function; Citizen science and science communication. Previous research has explored the effects of a foliar endophytic fungus on host microsite distribution and soil extracellular enzyme activity along elevational gradients.
