Geoff Baylis, fungi, symbiosis and the power of lichens
Dr Allison Knight presents a public lecture on 'Geoff Baylis, fungi, symbiosis and the power of lichens'.
This lecture will highlight the significant contribution that Geoff Baylis made to Botany. Allison will discuss lichen evolution, structure, identification and function and integrate current knowledge of the lichen ecosystem into understanding the critical role that lichens play in keeping the earth resilient.
The annual Geoff Baylis Lecture is a public lecture and was established by the Botanical Society of Otago in 2002 to honour his contributions to the society and field of botany.
