Claudia Cotton, Forest Soil Scientist
Forests & PlantsSoilWater- Ph.D., Virginia Tech
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Forest soil scientists observe, measure, and analyze forest soils. We do this to make sure that forest management activities, such as trail building and timber harvesting, do not negatively affect the forest soil.

Mary Beth Adams, Soil Scientist & Forester
Forests & PlantsSoil- Ph. D., North Carolina State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- Forest soil scientists study the connections of soil with forest ecosystems. Soil sustains life. I try to understand what it takes to keep forests healthy and productive.

Dan Neary, Soil Scientist & Hydrologist
SoilWater- Ph.D., Michigan State University
- USDA Forest Service Scientist
- A soil scientist studies the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of soils, how they are classified, how they function, and how water moves through them. A hydrologist studies all the aspects of the quantity and quality of water cycle from precipitation to streamflow to groundwater.
