Soil Health Lab | WSU NWREC
Our group investigates how soil is impacted by farming management to inform best practices and advance knowledge for how soil health operates in the Pacific Northwest. Our research integrates the multiple components of soil health–physical, chemical, and biological–in many of the specialty cropping systems of Washington state.
We are located at the Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (NWREC) in Mount Vernon, Washington.
