• Assessment of the impacts of different agricultural best managament practices (BMPs) on ecosystem services (such as carbon sequestration, soil health, and water quality) under current and future climate.
• Development and evaluation of Farm-to-watershed scale decision tools such as
  • Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for evaluating effects of Ag conservation practices on water quality and soil health
  • NOAA's Ohio Applicator Forecast tool for managing farm nutrient applications based on forecasted risk of runoff
  • USDA Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) for locating in-field and edge-of-field conservation practices
  • NRCS Stewardship Tool for Environmental Performance (STEP) for informing payment for ecosystem services (soil carbon, greenhouse gas emissions, water quality, etc.)
