Soil health metrics for sustainable agricultural systems

Rothamsted Research
Research Projects

Dr S Haefele

Application Deadline: 15 April 2019

Why is this project important?. Soil is the foundation of all agricultural systems. It is a complex biophysical system of aggregated particles and pore networks that, if managed carefully, provides plants with the medium for roots to grow and extract water and nutrients in order to produce food and fibre.
