Graduate Student Email: mshenson@uga.edu Lab: Chung Lab Research Research Areas: Fungal Biology Research Interests: I'm interested in understanding the impacts of fire regimes on soil microbial community composition and plant-soil feedbacks. My current research focuses on understanding how fire frequency affects the belowground processes that drive post-fire community assembly and regeneration in a longleaf pine ecosystem in southwestern Georgia. Education Education: Admission to Ph.D. program in Department of Plant Biology at University of Georgia, 2020. B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of North Carolina at Asheville, 2017.
