Research interests

• Understanding impact of agricultural practices on GHG emissions
• Nutrient (NPK) cycling in agroecosyetms and the effect on N2O and CO2 emissions
• C sequestration and GHG dynamics in natural vegetation and  agricultural lands
• Assessing the impact of drying and rewetting on GHG dynamics
