Research Interests:
Research focuses on biogeochemical cycling and transport within the soil as it extends to the
atmosphere and subsoil. Our ultimate objective is to maximize sustainable productivity of
agricultural systems. We have particular interest in nitrogen. Minimizing nitrogen limitation on
crop production while maximizing retention within agricultural systems are among the most
important global research priorities of the 21st century. To reach these goals we use
agronomical, ecological, and biogeochemical principles to advance our basic understanding of
element cycling and improve ecosystem management.
