A lab that studies relationships between plants and fungi in the Arctic and high mountains.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring plant–fungus relationships in the Arctic and high mountains.
Assistant Professor Shota Masumoto, who specializes in microbial ecology, studies plants, fungi, and their interactions from an ecological perspective.
The main study sites are regions such as the Arctic and high mountains.
In addition to plant–fungus interactions, the lab also studies community assembly.
At the University of Tsukuba, the research is carried out together with members of Mitsuru Hirota's lab.
