Alex Adekanmbi

Dr. Alex Adekanmbi is a Research Fellow at the University of Reading specializing in soil-climate interactions, with expertise in soil respiration dynamics and microbial responses to environmental stressors. His work bridges soil science, microbiology, and climate change research.

Educational background:

• PhD in Soil Science, University of Reading (2021)

His research focuses on quantifying temperature sensitivity of soil processes, legacy effects of climate stressors, and microbial community responses to drying-rewetting cycles. He employs controlled laboratory experiments and field studies to model carbon cycling under climate change scenarios, with particular emphasis on diurnal temperature variations and organic amendments. This interdisciplinary approach integrates biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, and environmental physics to predict soil carbon feedbacks.

Analysis of his 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent investigation of soil respiration mechanisms under thermal stress, with increasing focus on legacy effects and practical agricultural implications like seaweed extracts and cover crops. His work demonstrates how diurnal temperature patterns critically influence carbon cycling predictions.
