Research Interests
Soil organic matter dynamics: formation and turnover of organic constituents;
soil and crop management effects on soil organic matter; organic waste
management: direct land application, aerobic composting.
Current Projects
Conservation tillage and cropping effects on formation and turnover
of soil organic matter; soil quality comparison on long-term organic
farms vs conventional farms; nutrient budget on organic dairy farms
in southern Ontario; assessing soil P availability in organically managed
soils.
Future Directions
Organic turf production using compost teas, Organic wine grape production
under cool climates.
