Forestcast Season 3: Women of Research - Episode 8: Changing the World Through Soil with Deb Page-Dumroese
Release Date
April 6, 2023
Research soil scientist Deb Page-Dumroese’s research interests center around maintaining soil productivity during and after land management activities.
As site principal investigator for several North American Long-Term Soil Productivity Study plots, Deb is well-versed in the pre- and post-treatment sampling necessary to determine changes in above- and below-ground nutrient properties associated with harvesting, organic matter removal, and biochar additions. In partnership with the Missoula Technology Development Center (Keith Windell) and Dr. Nate Anderson (RMRS) she developed a biochar spreader to easily distribute biochar on forest sites.
