Personal profile

Short presentation

My research interest focuses on soil-plant interactions in flooded environments. I do research in Environmental Science, Soil Science and Plant Biology. My work focuses primarily on sulfide dynamics in flooded soils and plant acclimations to flooding.

Current research

Triggers to the root barrier against radial oxygen loss (ROL), a mechanism involved in flood tolerance of wetland plants

Strengths and weaknesses of developing a root ROL barrier. A focus on sulfide intrusion and toxicity

Development of iron plaques on plant roots during flooding. A possible defense against sulfide intrusion
