Hesam Mousavi

Hesam Mousavi is an Associate Professor in Soil Biology and Crop Productivity at the University of Inland Norway, affiliated with the Faculty of Applied Ecology, Agricultural Sciences and Biotechnology and the Department of Agricultural Sciences. His research focuses on sustainable plant production and soil management, particularly under environmental stress conditions like drought, salinity, and pathogenic factors.

Key research areas include:

• Soil-plant interactions
• Nutrient turnover and uptake
• Crop stress tolerance mechanisms
• Climate change adaptation strategies
• Organic fertilizer dynamics

Recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in:

• Applying machine learning for wheat yield prediction
• Evaluating plasma-treated agricultural inputs
• Developing climate-resilient crop systems
• Investigating soil fauna responses to novel fertilizers
• Advancing salt-tolerant wheat breeding

Scientific contributions include Norway's representation in COST Action CA22144 - Sustainable use of salt-affected lands (SUSTAIN), and participation in multidisciplinary agricultural research projects like MUSA - Mushrooms for Sustainable Agriculture.
