W.K. Kellogg Biological Station KBS Long-Term Agroecosystem Research

Dr. Tayler Ulbrich earned a PhD at the Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) in 2022 before starting her role as Associate Director for Engagement with the KBS Long-Term Agroecosystem Research program (LTAR) in January 2023. Tayler's PhD took an interdisciplinary approach to agroecosystems, focusing on both the ecological dynamics of plants and microbes, as well the social science of how Michigan farmers' perceive and value soil health. In this work, Tayler recognized the need to connect farmer and scientist ways of knowing. In her new role with the LTAR, Tayler seeks to address this by guiding efforts to co-produce research with scientists and agricultural professionals.
