Erika J. Foster's research focuses on soil organic carbon and how it responds to agricultural and land management practices, including organic amendments like biochar, compost, and conservation practices such as oak restoration. Her work combines soil chemistry, mineralogy, and microbial ecology with broader questions about agricultural policy, climate solutions, and equity in soil carbon offset markets. This research is relevant to students interested in soil science, sustainable agriculture, and the intersection of environmental science and policy.
