ArborTron, Arbor Harbor, and Beyond: An Arbor-centric framework for identifying species and their geographic origin to counter illegal logging
Illegal logging and timber trade, valued at $50-$150B annually, is estimated to account for 30-50% of all internationally traded timber, cost $5B in lost revenue to governments, and negatively impact biodiversity, climate, and local communities. The Lacey Act fosters forest legality by restricting importation of unlawfully harvested goods into the US. This act requires declaring the harvested species and its country of origin.

Investigating the Diversity and Function of Microorganisms in Serpentine and Non-Serpentine Soils across California
Serpentine soils, characterized by high heavy metal levels and magnesium-to-calcium ratios, exert selective pressure on plants and microorganisms. While some plants are endemic to these soils, most struggle to survive. Our research revealed that serpentine-indifferent plants, thriving on both serpentine and non-serpentine soils, may be sustained by their association with locally adapted plant growth-promoting bacteria.
