Dr Mark Farrell is a biogeochemist, with primary interests in carbon and nitrogen cycling in soils, and the impacts of management and environmental change on these processes. Principally working alongside microbiologists, he utilises a range of cutting-edge analytical techniques including nuclear magnetic resonance and mid infrared spectroscopy, as well as stable- and radio-isotopes to understand the composition and flows of carbon and nitrogen through the environment, and how these are moderated by the microbial community. |
Dr Gupta Vadakattu investigates on aspects of genetic and functional diversity, functional capability and resilience of soil biota in agricultural soils. Special interests include: genetic, functional and environmental regulators of biological disease suppression in soils, phenotypic and functional diversity of microbiota in the rhizosphere systems, diversity and functional capacity of diazotrophs in annual and perennial crops and turnover to carbon, nutrients and biological health of soils. |
