My work explores the questions:
​
How do agricultural management practices impact the ecosystem services the soil provides?
​
How can we amplify and better utilize soil-derived ecological services in our row cropping systems?
My research integrates approaches from agronomy, ecosystem ecology, entomology, weed ecology, soil science, statistics, and data science.
