As the root biology research program manager, Marvin Lo coordinates the Root Biology Research Group’s work investigating ecosystem ecology and the role of fine roots and mycorrhizae in forest ecosystem processes.
Lo is interested in urban tree health and investigates tree root responses to waterlogging and flooding in urban landscapes.
Outside of his work in the Arboretum’s Root Biology Research Group, Lo pursues his interests in the conservation and restoration of endangered native plants, fungal ecology, and bonsai.
