Jonathan Montgomery Ph.D.
Lecturer - Botany
Jonathan Montgomery grew up in Roslyn, Washington, completed his bachelor's at Humboldt State University in 2013 and acquired his PhD at the University of California, Riverside in 2018.
Research Focus
My work focuses on plant water use, specifically regarding turfgrass. Primarily I investigate the promise of biochar and other soil amendments in reducing turfgrass water use along with impacts on soil structure and function.
