Research Interests / Job description |
|
Resources to farming are scarce and its time to guide farming by scientific understandings of plants physiology. This way we could sustain our environment, induce our yields, and improve our crops.
Hence our goal is to learn the conditions in which natural systems mitigate environmental stresses to secure productive and sustainable farming in the near future.
To that end we study farms and forests through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum by methods of plant physiology, terrestrial ecology, climate change, and environmental modelling.
we invite you to follow our work, share our methods, and if you are sufficiently intrigued - join our lab. |
