OverviewAI-generated summary
Scott A. Mangan's research focuses on plant-soil feedback, microbial ecology, and biodiversity patterns, particularly within forest ecosystems. He has investigated how negative plant-soil feedback influences tree species abundance in tropical forests and how soil microbes contribute to the relationship between plant diversity and productivity. His work also examines the role of pathogens in maintaining plant species diversity and how plant diversity affects density dependence on a global scale.
Mangan is a recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant totaling $2,214,790, serving as Co-PI on a project investigating the use of mycorrhizal inoculants to enhance tolerance to water stress in rice and wheat. His research has explored liana abundance and distribution in Panama and the nitrogen economy facilitated by ectomycorrhizal associations in neotropical forests. He has also conducted meta-analyses on the effects of individual plants on soil chemistry and the conditions under which plant-soil feedback promotes plant coexistence.
With an h-index of 25 and over 4,900 citations across 73 publications, Mangan is recognized as a highly cited researcher. His collaborations include work with researchers from Arkansas State University and the University of Arkansas at Monticello. He maintains an active lab website to share his research.
