Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden

Professor Kravchenko is well known internationally for her outstanding research in micro-to-macro-scale biogeochemical processes involved in soil carbon and nitrogen cycling. She has made influential advances in applying geostatistics, multifractal analysis and power analysis in soil and agricultural studies. During her stay in Germany, she will further develop an approach to assess the spatial variability of biotic functions in soils in three dimensions.
