Jaclyn Wilmot (first Honours student of the Plant Ecophysiology Lab) is doing her first fieldwork trip to the Jacinth Ambrosia Mine reserve to study how facilitation (by Acacia spp. and soil biocrusts) via soil nitrogen addition might improve the fedundity of Maireana sedifolia, a dominant, but quite capricious seeder in the Nullarbor plains. of South Australia.
With Mickey Boakye, Adrian Fontao, Sonoma Carlos, Haley Grimmer and Jason measuring leaf mechanical (force to punch, shear and bend), hydraulic (leaf hydraulic conductance and vulnerability curves) and other traits (latex exsudation, leaf dry matter content, specific leaf area) in a phylogenetic diverse set of species collected from the University of California Botanical Garden (UCBG).
Helping lab mates (Yan Moraes, Julia Drummond and Tina Christmann) on obtaining structural and functional traits of woody species present in islands of montane forest. We also started using a drone to monitor such patches.
