The Soil Ecology Section of the Ecological Society of America seeks to promote an understanding of the importance of soil biota among ecologists, soil scientists, and members of related disciplines, ...

Our results indicate that the microbial ecology of Dry Valley soils is highly localized and that physicochemical factors potentially have major roles in shaping the microbiology of ice-free areas ...

A new study published in Ecological Processes by researchers at the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of ...

We hope that this work will help reverse the trend of soil degradation and ensure future food security. Richard Bardgett / Professor of Ecology, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences ...

Ecologists also study many kinds of environments. For example, ecologists may study microbes living in the soil under your feet or animals and plants in a rain forest or the ocean. The many ...

Soil carbon storage is a vital ecosystem service, resulting from interactions of ecological processes. Human activities affecting these processes can lead to carbon loss or improved storage. Aa Aa ...

To help farmers overcome these challenges, our lab studies soil microbial ecology and beneficial plant-microbial relationships. The soil microbial community regulates many critical agroecosystems ...

A new study from Iowa State University researchers found that diversifying crop rotations does not aid in carbon ...

The Department of Ecosystem Science and Management (ESM) integrates four disciplines: rangeland ecology, hydrology/watershed management, soil science, and entomology. In ESM, our students learn not ...
