Research Interests:Impact of agricultural management systems on soil properties Management systems include: cropping systems and rotations, tillage systems, range and grazing management, and grass species Soil properties include: organic and microbial carbon, nitrogen, soil physical properties, soil-water relations (infiltration, conductivity, holding capacity) Soil and water conservation: Developing/promoting systems (agricultural and others) that are environmentally sound and economically feasible for producers and their communities, at home and around the world. Systems more efficient in using/storing precipitation Conversion systems from irrigation to dryland production Related Activities: I work with the Dryland Agriculture Institute which funds M.S. graduate research assistantships. The institute hosted an International Training Workshop in Sustainable Agroecosystems and Environmental Issues from 1994 through 2001.
