Hilary Rose Dawson is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Australian National University. As an expert in whole-organism field botany, her research investigates the effects of abiotic disturbances such as fire and drought on plant communities and their interactions with soil and fungi over time and space. Her work emphasizes aboveground plant traits, particularly their role in carbon fluxes, alongside a keen interest in belowground dynamics, specifically focusing on soil carbon, mycorrhizal fungi, and truffle diversity. With a PhD in Biology from the University of Oregon, she is deeply engaged in studying the complex relationships between plants, soil health, and fungal biodiversity in ecosystems affected by climate variability.
