Agricultural and Life Sciences (IFAS)
Sustainable Nutrient Management Systems Lab
Led by Gabriel Maltais-Landry · Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences
What we study
The lab studies how farming practices like crop rotations and compost affect soil nutrients, carbon, and greenhouse gas emissions. They use field experiments and soil sampling to understand these impacts.
