SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Restoring Interactions – Examining the Translational Role Symbiotic Fungi Can Have in Restoring Plant Communities
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 19\, 2022\n11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. PDT / 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. MDT \nIn the midst of increased ecosystem degradation and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration\, it is important that we continually evaluate our restoration practices. Restoration practices generally have a taxonomic bias towards plant species and communities. However\, by focusing on a single organismal group\, restoration outcomes are often inconsistent and rarely leads to the reestablishment of target ecosystems or their services. One important factor that is often overlooked are plant interactions with fungal symbionts. This is a considerable oversight\, as a multitude of studies have documented the important role symbiotic fungi have on plant functioning and plant community assembly. This talk will examine two potential roles that plant-fungal symbionts can serve in ecological restoration: as indicators of the state of recovery and an ecosystem component that can be manipulated to improve restoration outcomes. \nSpeaker: Dr. Cameron Egan (Okanagan College) \nCameron is a microbial ecologist interested in plant associated fungal symbionts. He completed his PhD at UBC Okanagan in 2017 under the supervision of John Klironomos\, where he examined biogeographic patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities across different biomes and ecoregions of North America\, while simultaneously developing molecular methods and bioinformatic tools to examine fungal diversity in associating with plant roots and in the soil. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa to work with Nicole Hynson\, where he examined the applied role of plant-fungal symbionts throughout the Hawaiian archipelago (some of which he’ll be presenting today). \nSince 2019 he has been a faculty member in the biology department at Okanagan College where his teaching focuses include botany and ecology. His research continues to focus on the interaction between mycorrhizal fungi and plants\, examining both fundamental and applied aspects of the mycorrhizal symbiosis.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Regenerating the Diversity of Life in Soils
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will explore how the evolution of diverse lifeforms has shaped this planet and how we can co-opt the biological communities in soil that evolved over the last 500 million years. Methods to restore microbial diversity in our soils include: increasing soil fertility\, crop productivity\, and profitability in farms and rangeland. Metagenomics and metatranscriptomics are giving us a new way to look at soil microbiota and increasing our ability to understand how soil microbiology helps to define the essence of soil health. Also discussed in the webinar will be the use of a static composting process to produce high quality fungal dominant compost that can be used to inoculate soils and seeds to help restore microbial biodiversity and function to soils of agroecosystems.

SUMMARY:What the Heck is Soil Fertility
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nDr. Ieuan Rhys Evans \nDr. Evans is a forensic plant pathologist with a background in chemistry\, soil science\, plant diseases and micronutrient requirements of plants.  He completed his BSc at the University of Wales and his PhD at the University of Florida in 1969. His career ranged from a professor at the University of Guelph to Provincial Plant Pathologist for Alberta Agriculture. \nDescription: \n \nPresently\, Dr Evans is very disappointed that only 10 – 15% of farmers in this province and across the prairies test their soil for crop nutrients. \nWhat is it that they do not understand or misunderstand about soil fertility? \nSuccessful economic crop production is based on solid science and sound facts. Remember the best indicator of soil health is a good crop that meets a farmer’s expectations\, which seems to elude most farmers and in particular the general public. \nDr Evans will communicate the foundations of soil fertility in line with his seminar! \nThe event will be held in Edmonton at the Faculty Club at the University of Alberta and broadcast across Alberta via weblink. The webinar will be delivered as a live video stream. Webinar participants will be sent the weblink access information via email 48 hours prior to the event. Please ensure that your email information registered with the AIA is correct. The lunch buffet includes two meat items plus a seafood item\, Full Salad Bar\, Full Dessert Buffet and Coffee/Tea all inclusive. Parking at the Faculty Club is available in Lot V at a rate of $2.00 for the duration of the entire event. \n11:00    Doors Open \n11:00 – 11:30 Networking \n11:30 – 12:15 Lunch \n12:15 – 13:00 Presentation \n13:00 – 13:30 Questions & Answers \nAdmission: \nMembers/Non-Members: $30.00\nStudents: $25.00\nWebinar: $12.00 \nMember Benefits:\n\nReview the concept of soil fertility. Learn about the hard science of mineral plant nutrition. How has soil health to be understood in the context of growing crop? Learn how soil characteristics affect plant growth. \nContact Information/ Website: \nMembers and non-members should register online. Registration closes at 4:00 pm on March 23\, 2018. Please note that for group registration for the weblink\, each individual attending must register. Only individuals that have registered qualify for AIA Continuing Competence Program (CCP) credits.

SUMMARY:2017 Fall Field Tour – North Cascades
DESCRIPTION:Location: North Cascades – British Columbia\, Canada and Washington\, USA \nWhen: September 30 – October 1\, 2017 \nPrices:  Regular (non-students) – $70 CAD  /  Students – $50 CAD \n\nParticipants must be 2017/2018 members of the PRSSS to attend the tour (the link to 2017/2018 membership registration and payment can be found below)\n\n  \nPlease join us for our annual PRSSS Fall Field Tour on September 30 – October 1\, 2017. This year we will be exploring the soils of part of the North Cascades region. The tour will provide us an opportunity to explore various soil types found in this area such as Andisols and Spodosols. The geology of Northern Washington primarily features folded metamorphic rocks that have been fractured over time by volcanic eruptions from the Cascade Volcanoes including\, Mt. Baker\, Mt. Rainer\, and Mt. St. Helens. There will be plenty of stops along the way to observe the soils\, glacial landforms\, and evidence of volcanic activity which all contribute to the unique landscape of the region. \nCamping is included in the tour price for the evening of September 30. Participants will be expected to purchase or bring their own meals\, with the exception of some snacks over the course of the tour and dinner on September 30 which will be provided by the PRSSS.  Transportation will be provided to participants coming from Canada. Participants coming from the USA are requested to organize their own transportation.
