Kaydee Barker

Kaydee Barker is a researcher in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, focusing on soil ecology and carbon dynamics. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Ecosystem Science & Sustainability from Colorado State University (2022), her work addresses soil ecosystem processes to inform natural resource management for climate change mitigation and environmental justice. She contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and sustainable agriculture.

Her research emphasizes soil carbon storage, mycorrhizal interactions, and biogeochemical cycling. Recent studies explore nutrient impacts on grassland soil carbon stability and plant-soil organic matter linkages. Collaborative projects include designing pollinator habitats for sustainable farming practices.

Publications span topics from stable isotope tracing in soils to global grassland biogeochemistry. While no formal awards are listed, her work is widely shared on platforms like Mendeley and Google Scholar. Advising and grant details are not provided in available texts. She is affiliated with research teams investigating soil organic matter dynamics and global environmental change impacts.
