Presentation
Curious of biological nitrogen fixation, nutrient cycling, food quality, organic farming, landfills or wine and viticulture? I may be able to answer some of your questions.
My research focus on the biologically/chemically mediated nutrient cycling in relation to plant fitness and productivity, which is of the greatest importance for a crop production of high quality. Questions recently covered have concerned nutrient supply in organic production.
