Carsten Paul is a Researcher at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in Müncheberg, Germany, specializing in sustainability impact assessment within Research Area 3 "Agricultural Landscape Systems". He operates in the Impact Assessment of Land Use Changes working group, focusing on agricultural land and soil management sustainability.

His research spans sustainability assessments in agriculture, method and indicator development, measurement reporting and verification (MRV) systems, and agricultural management impacts on ecosystem services. He investigates resource-use efficiency, rebound effects, carbon farming methodologies, and carbon certification frameworks. His work develops robust assessment tools for quantifying agricultural practices' environmental impacts, particularly concerning soil health and carbon sequestration.

Paul actively designs MRV frameworks for soil health monitoring and conducts sustainability assessments of agricultural management systems. His contributions advance ZALF's mission to create evidence-based solutions for sustainable agricultural landscapes, integrating ecological and socioeconomic dimensions of land use change.
