General Research Interest Statement:
Plant and soil ecology; Soil microbial carbon and nitrogen
cycling; Ecosystem-level nitrogen and water budgets; Mycorrhizae;
Plant water relations and nutrient uptake; Genetic analysis
of root architecture; Organic and conventional vegetable production;
Grassland restoration ecology ...
Research Interest Pertaining to
Current SAFS / Conservation Tillage Project:
My interest is in soil food webs as they affect carbon and
nitrogen cycling, and plant uptake of nutrients. My main research
focus in this project is comparison of conservation vs. standard
tillage with in legume-vegetable rotations.
Years with the Project: 2
