My
overall
research
goal
is
to
understand
the
nutrient
fluxes
in
watershed
as
influenced
by
agroroforestry
technologies.
Concepts
from
Nutrient
Monitoring
model:
inputs
(mineral
fertilizer,
organic
manure,
atmospheric
deposition,
biological
N-fixation,
sedimentation)
and
outputs
(harvested
products,
crop
residues,
leaching,
gaseous
losses
and
erosion)
will
be
utilized
to
compare
nutrient
budgets
in
watershed
under
agroforestry
technologies
versus
the
watershed
under
traditional
farmer
practices.
The
effects
of
catena
positions
on
key
nutrient
pools
and
fluxes
under
agroforestry
systems
will
be
determined.
