Agroecologist Amelie Gaudin explores how diversification and healthy soil ecosystems can help agriculture meet its sustainability and resilience goals. Researchers in her lab integrate concepts and methodologies from various disciplines to measure outcomes of ecological intensification strategies and linkages between diversification, soil health and ecological resilience. They also study plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere and the ecological functions central to crop production in agroecological systems.
