Overview

Andrew Kulmatiski is affiliated with Utah State University in the United States. The primary focus of their research spans Environmental Science, with a notable concentration in Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work addresses various subfields, including Global and Planetary Change, Plant Science, Ecology, Nature and Landscape Conservation, and Soil Science.

The main topics within their research portfolio include Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics, Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies, Rangeland and Wildlife Management, Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics, Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions, Hydrology and Watershed Management Studies, and Plant Ecology and Soil Science.

Recent publications by Kulmatiski document contributions to key scientific journals. Some of these papers include:

  • "Extreme drought impacts have been underestimated in grasslands and shrublands globally" (2024, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • "Plant-soil feedback effects altered by aboveground herbivory explain plant species abundance in the landscape" (2020, Ecology)
  • "Woody plant growth increases with precipitation intensity in a cold semiarid system" (2020, Ecology)
  • "Aridity drives the response of soil total and particulate organic carbon to drought in temperate grasslands and shrublands" (2024, Science Advances)
  • "Small differences in root distributions allow resource niche partitioning" (2020, Ecology and Evolution)

Kulmatiski often collaborates with other researchers. Frequent co-authors include Karen H. Beard, Martin C. Holdrege, Leslie E. Forero, Nico Eisenhauer, and Josephine Grenzer.

Their publications frequently appear in venues such as Ecology, Ecology and Evolution, Plant and Soil, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The highest number of publications by venue is in the journal Ecology.
