Dr. Claudia Wagner Riddle
Research Overview
Dr. Claudia’s research focuses on understanding and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural systems. Her work identifies how specific farming practices contribute to emissions and provides evidence-based insights to support decision-making by farming organizations and policymakers.
Her research also examines soil health and its role in supporting soil ecosystem services, including water quality, water filtration, and the capacity of soils to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This work contributes to the development of more environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices.

Soil Health and Ecosystem Services
This project examines how diversified and perennialized cropping systems improve soil health and ecosystem services such as greenhouse gas mitigation, water filtration, and soil carbon storage. The research compares conventional and perennialized systems to understand their role in building climate-resilient and sustainable crop production systems.
