Summer Environmental StudyOlivia Trani
2015 The Elizabeth Gardner Norweb Summer Environmental Studies Scholarship
Olivia Trani is junior with an emphasis in Biology and Environmental Science at the College of William and Mary. She will do an independent research project on how American chestnut seedlings are influenced by adopted mycorrhizal fungi – observing how the seedlings performances change when faced with this fungi abundance from neighboring mature tree communities. She hopes to gain insight into how this might affect restoration efforts of the American chestnut.
