Research summary
AI-generated

E. J. Kladivko studies how farming practices—such as cover crops, tillage, and drainage—affect soil health, water movement, and nutrient loss on agricultural land. Much of the work is applied and long-term, examining how these practices influence soil carbon and nitrogen storage, herbicide behavior in soil, and nitrate or phosphorus runoff over many years of field experiments. This research is relevant to students interested in sustainable cropping systems, soil-water interactions, and practical soil conservation strategies.
