The risks associated with long-term, low-level glyphosate persistence in living plants are mostly unknown, and residues in plant tissue may have implications for ecosystem functions. The research explored here will discuss the real-life timelines associated with glyphosate residues in plant tissues, and what we know so far about the plant population-level responses to glyphosate residues when then do persist in interior British Columbian forests. Dr. Wood will share some current research she is conducting on cumulative effects of glyphosate-based herbicides, and pose questions about what her results may mean for land management and species conservation. 

The Natural Resources & Environmental Studies Institute (NRESi) at UNBC hosts a weekly lecture series at the Prince George campus. Anyone from the university or wider community with interest in the topic area is welcome to attend. Go to http://www.unbc.ca/nres-institute/colloquium-webcasts to view the presentation remotely.
