Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Mary C. Savin's research focuses on soil science and microbiology, investigating the properties and biological activity of soils under various management practices and environmental conditions. Her work has explored the relationship between soil structure, carbon mineralization, and the presence of earthworms, as well as the impact of long-term conservation pasture management on soil quality indices. Savin has also studied the dynamics of bacterial communities in aquatic environments, including antibiotic-resistant coliform bacteria in wastewater-affected streams and plankton diversity in coastal marine ecosystems.
Her research group investigates agroecological indicators, such as soil properties and CO2 emissions, to assess the mineralization of cover crop green manure in different climates. Savin's work contributes to understanding soil health, microbial ecology, and environmental monitoring. She maintains an active research group and has a h-index of 29 with over 2,300 citations across 117 publications, designating her as a highly cited researcher. Key collaborators include Matthew B. Bertucci, Nilda R. Burgos, Cammy Willett, and P. Moore, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
