Soil Biology & Biochemistry
The faculty in Soil Biology and Biochemistry conducts research on the interrelationships between soil organisms and their environment. Research objectives include the study of exotic earthworm invasions in wildland ecosystems and involve the use of isotopically enriched plant litter to evaluate the effects of native and exotic earthworms and their interactions on soil organic matter dynamics. Other research objectives are aimed at understanding how microorganisms influence the soil environment, specifically the regions directly surrounding a microbial population. Research tools include many standard soil microbiology techniques to study microbial life and soil organic matter, as well as the more advanced techniques of compound specific isotope analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and DNA-based methods. The faculty in Soil Biology and Biochemistry conducts research at several locations in Georgia, as well as in other states.
