    Diving Deep Into Horticulture: Optimizing Controlled Agricultural Environments To Improve Plant Production

    Joining us today to discuss his horticultural work is Daniel Wells. Daniel is an Associate Professor in Auburn University’s Department of Horticulture where he teaches and focuses his research on “improving controlled environment agriculture in the southeast.”   Daniel grew up on an agricultural research station, where he was exposed to this field at a young age. Since then, he has been delving into the world of hydroponics, aquaponics, and plant nutrition with a hunger to learn more… In this episode, Daniel discusses: The research projects he has been working on. The unique environmental challenges that the southeast United States has when it comes to horticulture. The difference between hydroponics and soil-grown farming techniques. What contributes to the nutritional value of plant produce. The intricacies that exist within the field of horticulture certainly inform our food production methods as we know them. So how can we ensure that we are able to continue growing crops efficiently and sustainably? Tune in now to find out! Want to find out more about Daniel and his research efforts?

    Branching Out: Exploring Oak Diversity, Biodiversity, & Conservation With Dr. Andrew Hipp

    In today’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Andrew L. Hipp, the Director of the Herbarium and Senior Scientist in Plant Systematics at The Morton Arboretum. With a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Hipp got into plant work as a way to work outdoors. Now, more than 20 years later, he has a lab that focuses on various aspects of plant biodiversity – with a strong focus on phylogenetics. Using molecular systematics, genomics, community ecology, and herbarium study, the Arboretum’s Hipp Lab’s current research, which includes oaks, sedges, and the use of phylogenetic and trait diversity, is not just theoretical. It is informing practical questions in ecological restoration and community ecology, making a tangible impact on the world we live in… Listen in to find out:  The history of oak tree development and diversity.  How oaks are most typically used.  Where evolutionary history and ecology intersect.  A common misconception about tree roots.  To follow along with Dr. Hipp’s work at the Arboretum’s Hipp Lab, click here now. And keep an eye out for his upcoming book, Oak Origins: From Acorns to Species and the Tree of Life, set to be published in December! Episode also available on Apple Podcasts: http://apple.co/30PvU9
