Curriculum Vitae
Jennifer Bell

I am broadly interested in how microbial communities adapt and change. I look at how restoration and reclamation change microbial communities and their associated biogeochemical cycling. I am interested in how land management practices, soil amendments, and plant communities impact and steer these restoration trajectories. I am also interested in the plant microbiome and how it can be harnessed for sustainable agriculture and the impact of different agriculture practices on soil microbial communities and biogeochemical cycling.
