Zachary Brecheisen's work focuses on how land use history, especially past agriculture, shapes soils and landscapes over long timescales. This includes studying soil carbon and gas dynamics, deep plant root loss and recovery, erosion and terrain features like gullies, and using satellite imagery and isotope tracers to reconstruct how landscapes have changed under human influence. Much of this research centers on Critical Zone Observatories, which are sites for studying the layer of Earth from bedrock to the top of vegetation.
Publication output was highest around 2018-2021 and has slowed considerably since 2022, with only a few publications per year recently.
