Amanda Hodson

Amanda Hodson is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Davis, focusing on soil health and free-living nematode communities. Her research integrates nematodes with carbon pools, nutrient cycling, microbial communities, and leaf nutrients to characterize soil food web functioning. She aims to develop integrated solutions for nematode pest suppression while linking these dynamics to crop yield and management practices.

Research Interests:

• Soil health indicators in response to management shifts
• Nematode community roles in soil carbon cycling
• Integrated pest management for nematodes
• Soil microbiome interactions
