Research Interests

My research focuses on nutrient cycling in agricultural soils, primarily in arable farming systems and grasslands. I am interested in how soil–plant–management interactions influence nutrient dynamics, carbon dynamics, soil health, and greenhouse gas emissions to support sustainable, circular, and resilient agriculture.
