The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Great Lakes Science Center is offering this grant to conduct research on the endophytic fungi within Phragmites plants and their potential effect on invasibility. This grant is for the purpose of advancing our understanding of invasive species management in the Great Lakes region. Successful applicants will collect Phragmites plant samples in collaboration with ongoing USGS studies. The core research activities involve the isolation, identification, and experimentation with fungal endophytes derived from these samples. This work aims to uncover how these microorganisms contribute to or inhibit the invasive success of Phragmites, providing crucial insights for ecosystem preservation.
