Research
The goals of my group are to understand responses and adaptation of main ecological processes, such as Carbon, Nitrogen and Water cycling, Soil microbial community composition, and Crop productivity, to climate change and intensive human activities, and to develop environmentally-sound management practices for increased sustainability, soil quality, and high productivity in farmland ecosystems.
