Research Interest
I study the effect of agricultural activities on the atmospheric environment. My research activities are focused in quantifying and understanding trace gas emissions from agriculture, in particular gases that enhance the atmosphere's greenhouse effect.
Recently my research activity has been concentrated in the following topics: 1) modelling of nitrous oxide emissions from soils, 2) mechanisms of nitrous oxide production in and emission from soils during spring thaw as affected by management practices, 3) effect of best management practices on nitrogen losses from field crops, 4) greenhouse gas emissions from manure management, 5) methods for trace gas flux quantification, and 6) carbon sequestration in rubber-tree plantations.
