Alex Woodley is an Associate Professor at North Carolina State University, based in the Plant Sciences Building (4128), with contact email alwoodle@ncsu.edu and phone 919-819-7158.
His research program focuses on soil productivity and profitability in sustainable and organic cropping systems. Key initiatives include linking soil health indicators to productive agroecosystems, mitigating soil greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing soil carbon sequestration, and optimizing nutrient management through fertilizers, organic amendments, and cover crops. The Sustainable Soils Lab, which he leads, develops practical agronomic practices that maintain yields while reducing environmental impacts and building system resilience.
Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability in agriculture, spanning nitrogen management for nitrous oxide reduction, carbon dioxide removal via enhanced weathering, alternative fertilizers for specialty crops, and soil microbial dynamics in forest ecosystems. His work integrates field experiments with innovative measurement techniques across soil science, environmental science, and agronomy disciplines.
