AZ Native Plant Society Presentation
On Tuesday, April 18, at 7 p.m. in Room 313 of the NAU Biological Sciences Building, Kyle Christie, NAU botany graduate student, will present "Floristic Patterns of the Lower San Francisco Volcanic Field." The talk will reflect his study of how plant biogeography and abiotic landscape factors, such as soil texture and age, influence distribution and composition of the local flora.
Kyle's research of the flora of the Pinyon-juniper woodlands of the San Francisco volcanic field has centered on plant biogeography and how abiotic landscape factors, such as soil texture and age, influence distribution and composition of the local flora.
