Alex Sinclair is a Researcher at Scotland's Rural College (SRUC), where he specializes in agricultural and environmental sciences. His work focuses on soil chemistry, plant nutrition, and sustainable cropping systems, with particular emphasis on soil fertility, microbial diversity, and fertilizer management strategies.

Research Interests include:

• Soil acidity and phosphorus dynamics in agricultural systems
• Environmental impacts of soil management practices
• Microbial ecology and ecosystem function in soils
• Elemental status and risk assessment of agricultural soils

Key Projects include leading and collaborating on initiatives such as the RESAS-funded soil data management project (2022-2027), the Land Bank Management consultancy (2021-2022), and updates to nitrogen and sulfur fertilizer recommendations for crops like spring barley and potatoes (2018-2021).

His research outputs address critical issues in sustainable agriculture, including soil health, nutrient cycling, and the environmental impacts of farming practices.
