Journal Article
Wardak, D. L. R., Padia, F. N., de Heer, M. I., Sturrock, C. J., & Mooney, S. J. (2024). Zero-tillage induces significant changes to the soil pore network and hydraulic function after 7 years. Geoderma, 447, Article 116934. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2024.116934

Zero-tillage and ploughing are highly contrasting soil management practices that have distinct roles in generating soil porosity. Ploughed systems employ anthropogenic perturbation to manage weed pressure and ensure optimal conditions at time of sowi...

Nitrogen is a key nutrient for plant growth and development, and understanding nutrient uptake is central to improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops, including maize. Reducing the need for fertilizer without reducing yield is extremely important,... Read More about Methods for Measuring Nutrient Uptake in Maize Using Nitrogen Stable Isotopes.

Quantifying Nitrogen Uptake Rates of Maize Roots Using Stable Isotopes (2024)
Journal Article
Ishaya, F. D., & Rasmussen, A. (2024). Quantifying Nitrogen Uptake Rates of Maize Roots Using Stable Isotopes. Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, https://doi.org/10.1101/pdb.top108436

Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and development; however, application of nitrogen (N)-based fertilizers comes with a high environmental cost. This includes the energy required for production, volatilization from fields, and runoff o... Read More about Quantifying Nitrogen Uptake Rates of Maize Roots Using Stable Isotopes.

Changes in nitrogen functional genes and microbial populations in soil profiles of a peatland under different burning regimes (2024)
Journal Article
