We are measuring the capacity of soils to retain nitrogen and developing a theoretical basis to understand how nitrogen cycling varies across gradients in land use, topography, climate, and tree species composition.
We are evaluating cropping systems that reduce synthetic nitrogen inputs and pollution outputs from row crop fields. We monitor nitrogen availability to crops and measure soil greenhouse emissions and subsurface nitrogen leaching to evaluate pollution losses.
We are working to resolve the effects of geology, topography, disturbance and climate change on soil carbon and nutrient dynamics in Appalachian forests.
