This module uses tropical plant-soil microbial interactions in canopy gaps as a lens to better understand species interactions and disturbance ecology, while showing how scientists study these systems and enhancing students’ ability to interpret figures. SummaryIn this module, students will learn about ecosystem disturbances with a focus on treefall gaps, plant-soil microbial symbionts, and their effect on nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. They will learn about this topic through reading,…
