Analysis of conditions necessary for mycorrhizal mutualism through a mechanistic model of nutrient exchange
Final project for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology 219B at UCLA. Analyzing the conditions required for mutualism between tree and fungus using a custom mechanistic model.
A full description of the research question, methods, results, and discussion is available in the written report: nikoDarciMaher_finalreport_mycorrhiza.pdf
