Cameron Carlyle, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural, Food & Nutritional Science at the University of Alberta, with a secondary role as Director of the Plant Biosystems program within the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on grassland ecology, rangeland management, and the impacts of grazing, drought, and environmental stress on ecosystems. He teaches courses such as ENCS 356 (Principles of Rangeland Conservation) and PL SC 324 (Crop Ecophysiology), emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices and ecological resilience.
Dr. Carlyle’s work explores how grazing practices, climate change, and land-use decisions influence soil health, carbon sequestration, and plant communities. He has extensively studied the effects of drought, defoliation, and grazing management on ecosystem function, particularly in northern temperate grasslands. His research also addresses practical applications, such as mitigating industrial traffic impacts on vegetation and optimizing agroforestry systems for carbon storage.
As a director, he oversees initiatives in plant biosystems, aiming to bridge ecological research with agricultural sustainability. His publications span topics like soil enzyme activity, microbial diversity, and the resilience of grassland ecosystems to environmental pressures. While no specific awards are listed, his contributions to advancing sustainable land-use strategies are evident through his active research and teaching roles.
Dr. Carlyle’s courses integrate field-based learning, including lab sessions for ENCS 356 (Fall Term 2025) and lectures for PL SC 324 (Winter 2026), reflecting his commitment to hands-on education in environmental science and crop management.
