Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amanda J. Ashworth's research focuses on soil health, microbial ecology, and nutrient dynamics in agricultural systems. Her work investigates soil carbon indicators, aggregate stability, and the selection of soil hydraulic properties as indicators of soil health in response to management and site characteristics. She has studied the impact of management practices and topography on soil bacterial diversity in silvopastoral systems and linked soil microbial community structure to carbon mineralization potential in reduced tillage systems.

Ashworth has published extensively, with a notable h-index of 34 and over 200 publications. Her research has been supported by federal grants, including a significant National Science Foundation (NSF) award totaling $918,053 as a Co-PI for collaborative research on marine epizoic diatoms. She has established strong collaborations within the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, working with P. Moore on 17 shared publications, D. Philipp on 6 shared publications, and Kelsey L.H. Greub and Helen C. S. Amorim, each on 5 shared publications. Ashworth leads a research group and is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
