Research Interests

  • Nutrient management and cycling
  • Soil health/fertility
  • Sustainable agricultural systems
  • Soil-plant nutrient relationships
  • Soil chemical processes

I am interested in carbon, plant-nutrient, and water dynamics within agricultural landscapes and how these may be mediated by management practices. Specifically, looking at climate-adaptation strategies to increase the sustainability of regional agricultural systems.
