Summary

Pollen, stress, ecosystem health... These three things are more connected than you may think. Join me and my guest Dr. Jeff Benca as we dive into research that is uncovering a whole new way to gauge how plants and the ecosystems they comprise react to everything from odd warming patterns to global catastrophe.
