Ian Anderson
Ian Anderson is a fungal molecular ecologist whose expertise lies in the application of molecular approaches for studying the diversity and function of soil fungi. He has particular interests in the ecology of ectomycorrhizal fungi including aspects of their population ecology, as well as their interactions with other soil organisms.
Current research interests
He is also interested in trying to understand the factors which influence the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities.
