Dr. Daniel Markewitz is a Professor in the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia. His research focuses on soil nutrient cycles, forest productivity, and land use impacts on ecosystems. He holds a Ph.D. in Environment from Duke University (1996), an M.E.M. in Forestry and Environmental Studies (1991), and a B.S. in Natural Resources from the University of Michigan (1986).
His research interests include forest soil biogeochemistry, critical zone science, and sustainable land management. Key projects involve quantifying soil health metrics, studying Amazonian agroforestry systems, and analyzing long-term effects of forest management on carbon and nutrient dynamics. He leads the Water Resources Forest Soil and Water Laboratory and collaborates with the Soil Science Society of America.
Teaching responsibilities include courses like Ecology of Natural Resources and Biogeochemistry, emphasizing field and lab components. Recent awards include the First Year Odyssey Teaching Award (2024) and Fellow status in the Soil Science Society of America (2024).
Dr. Markewitz’s work bridges ecological and applied science, addressing challenges in forest sustainability, water resources, and climate change mitigation. His research spans experimental forests such as the Calhoun Critical Zone Observatory and involves international collaborations in Brazil.
