Research is directed toward areas that evaluate short and long term effects of soil management practices and climatic stress on the growth of plants and the interaction with variables from scientific fields. Emphasis is on relative impacts on soil structure degradation, organic matter loss, new tillage systems, new seeding equipment, alternative fertilizer and chemical inputs, alternative crops, crop rotations with legumes, intercropping, double cropping, soil erosion and sediment transport, nutrient cycling, waste management, soil environment or tilth, set aside acres, surface and subsurface biotechnology.
