This PhD project, “Restoring soil health: Identifying key drivers and feedbacks among biological, chemical, and physical processes,” explores how different soil properties interact to influence soil function across agricultural landscapes. The research will bring together biological, chemical, and physical perspectives on soil health. By identifying key drivers and feedbacks among these processes, the project aims to improve understanding of how agricultural soils function and how soil health ca...
