Local Studies for Global Scale<\/h2>\n

We integrate our local studies for global scale. We always incorporate global climate change and carbon cycling as part of our work. We emphasize processes and mechanisms controlling the interaction of soils, plants, nutrients, and climate.<\/p>\n

Our faculty and students are combining field studies, with our analytical laboratories, computer simulation modeling, and novel technology innovations to inform our most pressing research questions.<\/p>\n

Our graduate students work on various projects related to agroecosystems management. We prioritize a systems approach to incorporate ecosystem interactions with soil and crop management. We have graduate research programs in all the major Colorado ecosystems including:<\/p>\n
