Investigating the nature and dynamics of soil phosphorus is my main interest. I also work with the stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in natural and agroecosystems.

Currently, I am working on the £3.7M NERC-funded research project QUINTUS: Quinquennial (half-decadal) carbon and nutrient dynamics in temperate forests: Implications for carbon sequestration in a high carbon dioxide world. QUINTUS aims to carry out detailed measurements of nutrients and determine how a mature temperate forest responds to rising atmospheric CO₂ concentrations at the University of Birmingham’s Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) free air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) facility.

• ISPF Funded Project: Soil Legacy Phosphorus Evaluation in Brazil

  Brazil produces 40% of the global supply of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) through cultivation of an area of over 10 million hectares, projected to expand to 18.8 million hectares by 2050. Phosphorus (P) is a finite essential nutrient for agriculture that is rapidly depleting. Brazilian sugarcane cultivation requires substantial P fertilisation due to low P use efficiency as inorganic P interacts with soil mineralogy to form insoluble P compounds that are unavailable to crops, a phenomenon known as P-fixation. Inefficiency of P use in sugarcane cultivation requires the application of 20% of Brazil’s total consumption of inorganic P fertiliser to maintain yields. Quantifying the plant unavailable “legacy P” that remains after historical P-fixation of inorganic P fertiliser applications, combined with novel methods of increasing P use efficiency, has potential to alleviate the reliance on inorganic P fertilisers and substantially improve cost and sustainability of sugarcane production in Brazil.
