Improving Restorations: Soils and restoration

Soil - it’s not just dirt. From mycorrhizas to amendments for revegetation, this webinar will get you thinking about the importance of soils in your restorations.
PRESENTERS
Laura Aldrich-Wolfe is an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at North Dakota State University. She is interested in the roles of mycorrhizas in natural and managed ecosystems. While she seeks to deepen our knowledge of the largely invisible world beneath our feet, she also hopes to inform decision-making about land use by policy-makers, ranchers and farmers.
Bora Cetin is a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Michigan State University. His research includes work on sustainable geotechnical practices. He is the principal investigator on a Minnesota Department of Transportation project to compare different soil prep methods for promoting vegetation establishment.
