James J. Camberato studies soil fertility and nutrient management in agricultural systems, with a particular focus on nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in corn and other row crops. His work spans field-scale experiments on fertilizer timing and rates, watershed-level tracking of nutrient runoff and leaching using isotopic and geochemical tracers, and use of remote sensing and machine learning to assess crop nitrogen status. The research aims to improve crop yields while reducing environmental losses of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into water systems.
