Biography
Paul Nelson is a soil scientist interested in how human management and natural processes influence the sustainability and environmental impacts of agriculture, including productivity, soil condition, water quality and greenhouse gas emissions.
His recently published synthesis 'Sustainable management of soil in tropical agriculture' (2023, in Jayaraman, Dalal & Lal (Eds.) Sustainable Soil Management – Beyond Food Production. Cambridge Scholars Publishing) is available on request.

Teaching
Teaching Interests
Soil matters: it is the most biologically diverse and active part of the earth, where minerals, water, air and living things interact in complex and fascinating ways that are critical for human well-being and ecosystem functioning. Having a good grasp of soil properties and processes is invaluable for graduates in environmental science and management.
