In this Workshop Wednesday Webinar, Dr. David Wedin, a faculty member of the University of Nebraska’s School of Natural Resources @UNLincoln and a cooperating faculty with the Center for Grassland Studies, will share with you what he has learned about grassland ecology and conservation during his career. His PhD research focused on the interactions of grasses with soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, in particular, the destabilizing effect of atmospheric nitrogen pollution on high-diversity prairies. Dr. Wedin oversees research, teaching, and management at the University of Nebraska’s Nine-Mile Prairie and Dalbey Prairie. Students in Ecology will have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and get their questions answered. This webinar was recorded on January 22, 2025.
