I am an Agronomist (UPF) with Master and PhD degrees in Soil Science (UFRGS). I am currently a full professor at the Soil Science Department (Center for Rural Sciences) at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM).
I have experience in the Soil Chemistry and Fertility, working on research mainly on the following topics: dynamics and availability of nutrients and toxic elements; chemical parameters for soil analysis; amendments and fertilizer recommendation; greenhouse gases (methane and nitrous oxide) emission in lowland soils; and management of liming and fertilization in flooded rice.
