Nicola Lorenz studies soil health and the microorganisms (bacteria, archaea, fungi) that live in soil, focusing on how farming practices, fertilizers, manure, biochar, and land reclamation affect soil nutrient cycling and microbial communities. Much of the work examines agricultural systems in places like the Sahel, China, and the U.S., as well as mine land restoration using native prairie plants. This research is relevant to students interested in soil science, agricultural sustainability, and microbial ecology.
Publication output has been uneven over the last decade, peaking in 2021 with six papers but with gaps in 2018, 2023, and 2024, and a low recent five-year average of 0.8 papers per year.
