AT: Biodiversity Webinar

Connections between People and Nature: Biodiversity

Web meeting with Professor Kerri Crawford, Assistant Professor of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Houston

Discuss global threats to biodiversity and why we should care, including how biodiversity influences natural systems and provides ecosystem services that we rely on.  She will present examples from her own work, such as experiments that tested how plant diversity influences restoration outcomes in coastal ecosystems and how soil microbes influence plant community diversity. Finally, she will speculate on key scientific questions that need to be answered to understand how ecological communities will change in the future and help mitigate the negative consequences of these changes.
