Welcome to Cropping Systems and Soil Management Research

Cropping Systems and Soil Management Research Group within New Mexico State University Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences focuses on soil and crop management practices that improve efficiency, profitability, and soil environmental quality of agricultural systems. We emphasize a systems approach to improve our understanding of soil biogeochemical cycling, crop performance, and soil and environmental health for improving the resilience and sustainability of agriculture. Specific focus of our research program: 

- Soil health assessment and management
- Soil-plant-environment interactions
- Soil organic carbon dynamics, soil carbon sequestration
- Nitrogen cycling and greenhouse gas emissions
