Alice Tipton, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor
Biology


Education

Ph.D., University of Missouri - Columbia

Research Interests

Tipton is an ecologist who studies species interactions. Her work focuses on the interactions between plants and soil fungi in grasslands and how environmental factors influence these interactions and the composition of the soil fungi community. Her research also explores the role of native mycorrhizal fungi in improving plant community establishment and diversity in native grassland restoration projects.
