Andrew Kulmatiski, Associate Professor in the Wildland Resources department at Utah State University, specializes in plant-soil interactions and their ecological implications. His research focuses on soil ecology, plant physiology, and climate change adaptation in rangeland systems.
- PhD in Biology (Plant-soil interactions), Utah State University (2005)
- Forest Soils training, Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies (1999)
- BA in Biology (Environmental Science, Chemistry), Colby College (1994)
Research highlights include:
- Plant-soil feedback mechanisms driving invasion and productivity
- Woody encroachment in grasslands linked to precipitation patterns
- Activated carbon applications for native plant restoration
- Depth-controlled tracer techniques for water/nutrient uptake
Key awards:
- 2014 Oikos article ranked #16/769 via Altmetrics
- 2013 Nature Climate Change special feature
- Top 1% most cited in Ecology (2012)
- Invited expert in invasion ecology literature (2011)
Academic mentorship includes guiding 11 graduate students (MS and PhD), and teaching courses on Wildland Soils, Rangeland Plant Taxonomy, and Plant Physiological Ecology. His lab investigates belowground processes for managing invasive species, enhancing productivity, and restoring native communities.
