Research Project: Analysis to Support Soil Health and Climate Change Research

Location: Plant Science Research

Project Number: 6070-21600-001-005-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 15, 2022
End Date: Sep 14, 2027

Objective:
Conduct analyses of soil organic carbon and nitrogen fractions in multiple experiments. This objective will help fulfill our research needs to develop improved recommendations for climate-resilient forages and crops.

Approach:
Soil processing and biological analytical techniques will be employed to obtain estimates of soil health and potential soil organic carbon storage. Methods developed in the lab will be continuously updated to meet the needs of evolving objectives.
