Research Focus

Agro-ecosystem modelling with focus on water and matter dynamics, crop growth, climate change. Special interest on modeling of water and nitrogen dynamics and crop growth in the soil-plant-atmosphere system at different scales (sub field, field, catchments, region), model based evaluation of land use and management strategies to protect water resources from nutrient pollution, model based assessment of Climate Change impact on crop growth and soil processes and development of adaptation strategies, operational use of models for irrigation and nitrogen fertilization recommendations on field and sub-field scale (precision agriculture), analysis of yield gap causes.
