Distinct Landscapes and Collaboration<\/h2>\n

Our department regularly collaborates with several government and private agricultural research entities based in Fort Collins and throughout the state. Colorado is rich with varied landscapes including rangelands, forests, and prairies, each with their own unique characteristics. As soil scientists we study all aspects of soil and impacts from climate change with the benefit of sharing our knowledge broadly with policy makers and producers alike.<\/p>\n
