Lexi Firth

Sustainability Leadership Fellow Cohort: 2024-2025

Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences

Research Summary: I bridge the gap between soil ecology and the practicalities of agricultural operations. By applying ecological principles, I explore how soil science can provide insights into land management and global environmental health. Utilizing a blend of data science, biogeochemical concepts, and an understanding of the human aspects of our agricultural system, I uncover the relationships and dynamics that influence soil health and its impact on agricultural productivity. My role involves interpreting these scientific findings and translating them into practical knowledge for producers, guiding them towards practices that bolster soil health.
