Our lab research addresses agricultural and ecological sciences, with topics encompassing soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, plant and crop physiology, hydrology, and the interaction of plant, soil and atmospheric processes.
Funded project details, investigators, and partners.
Research topics in our lab combine fundamental and applied science across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Specifically, research in the lab addresses the coupled biogeochemistry of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the soil; plant processes like growth, water use, determination of water use efficiency, and the response to abiotic stresses with emphasis on climate change and climate extremes; the application of models to improve agroecosystem management (climate-smart agriculture, agricultural intensification, sustainable agriculture, organic agriculture, precision agriculture and precision conservation, bioenergy); and broader issues of ecosystem functioning at field, watershed, and planetary scale.
