DESCRIPTION:
 Dr. Relena Ribbons\n
  \n
 Forest and agricultural soils are home to vast 
 quantities of soil microbe communities, yet we 
 have only scratched the surface when it comes 
 to understanding these systems. My lab blends 
 tools and approaches from forestry, ecology, biogeochemistry, 
 and soil microbiology to investigate these communities. 
 I will share insights from studies my research 
 students and I have conducted across our region: 
 Bjorklunden's forest of cedars and maples along 
 the shoreline of Lake Michigan; a network of sites 
 in the woods of Peninsula and High Cliff State 
 Parks; and here on the Lawrence campus, using 
 soil microbiological markers to examine polyculture 
 practices of co-planting tomatoes with marigolds.\n\n
