Researchers at the Pedology Lab integrate traditional disciplines of pedology, ecology, and hydrology by applying new technologies like remote sensing, digital soil mapping, and landscape modeling to address spatiotemporal changes in soil properties and soil function in response to anthropogenic and global changes for improved natural resource planning and sustainable land management.
Focus areas include:
- Linking vegetation dynamics to geoedaphic properties and management
- Disaggregation of soil map units
- Development of spatial pedotransfer functions to explain landscape-scale vegetation dynamics
