Responsibilities and Interests

Dr. Armen Kemanian (Ph.D., Washington State University) interests are to understand and manage processes in agricultural and natural ecosystems. Kemanian's research integrates multiple scales, from the controls of carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils and the controls of plant water uptake and competition for resources in plant communities, to system's level research and decision support tools based on models and applied at farm and landscape scales. Kemanian's research program links fundamental research with societal concerns regarding food production, climate change, and the preservation of environmental integrity.
