Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Mary C. Savin's research program investigates microbial communities and their interactions within agricultural and environmental systems. Her work focuses on understanding the diversity, structure, and function of bacterial and fungal communities in soils, manures, and associated environmental compartments. This includes examining the influence of management practices, such as silvopastoral systems and conservation pasture management, on these microbial populations.
A significant component of her research addresses antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes within these environments. Savin studies the abundance and dissemination of AMR genes in cattle manure, poultry litter, and their subsequent leaching into karst and non-karst landscapes following land application. Her publications also explore the persistence of agricultural chemicals, such as S-metolachlor, in soil and the development of weed resistance to herbicides.
Savin has published extensively on these topics, with a notable h-index of 28 and over 2,200 citations. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Matthew B. Bertucci, Nilda R. Burgos, Cammy Willett, and P. Moore. Her active research group maintains a dedicated lab website, highlighting her commitment to ongoing research and mentorship.
