Dr. Michael Herbst

Research focus

Simulation and model development of greenhouse gas and nutrient fluxes in agricultural systems. Special focus is on crop growth, soil carbon fluxes and the effect of natural drivers and management on net ecosystem carbon exchange. Developer of the AgroC model.

Research interests

• crop growth simulation
• modeling of water, heat, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus fluxes in agroecosystems
• simulation of soil carbon dioxide fluxes and soil carbon turnover
• geostatistics
