Mycorrhizal Fungi in Flux
Hidden beneath every Texas grassland lies a vast network of fungi that connects and sustains plant life. These underground partners, known as mycorrhizal fungi, exchange nutrients and water with plants and play a critical role in restoring ecosystems after disturbance.
In this evening talk, UT Austin researcher Elena Leander shares insights from her ongoing research at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, where she builds on years of vegetation monitoring by staff and volunteers. Her work explores how long-term restoration efforts and different plant species influence the relationships between plants and fungi.
Join us for a beginner-friendly look into the hidden world of mycorrhizae and discover how soil, roots, and fungi shape the resilience of Texas landscapes.
