معرفی
Johannes Lehmann is the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor in the School of Integrative Plant Science (Soil and Crop Sciences Section) and a Professor in the Department of Global Development at Cornell University. His research focuses on soil biogeochemistry, nutrient cycling, and sustainable agriculture, with emphasis on soil carbon sequestration, biochar systems, and tropical agroecosystems. His work bridges laboratory studies, field experiments, and global-scale modeling to address climate change and environmental sustainability.
- Affiliations: Cornell College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Lehmann Lab, Cornell Pyrolysis Group.
- Education: Doctorate in Soil Science (University of Bayreuth, 1997), Diplom Geooekologe (University of Bayreuth, 1993).
Research Interests: Lehmann’s work explores soil organic matter dynamics, biochar applications, circular economy strategies, and nutrient management in tropical regions. He investigates how organic residues and biochar enhance soil fertility, reduce greenhouse emissions, and contribute to climate resilience.
His recent studies highlight biochar’s role in capturing ammonia, electron conductivity in pyrogenic carbon, and global potential for carbon sequestration. Collaborations span disciplines, including art-science projects to foster interdisciplinary creativity.
Awards: Member of the US National Academy of Sciences (2023), Humboldt Research Prize (2021), and multiple high-impact recognitions for contributions to soil science and sustainability.
Teaching: Courses include nutrient cycling, soil management, and environmental sustainability, emphasizing global challenges and integrative solutions.
Lab & Projects: The Lehmann Lab drives innovation in biochar technology, pyrolysis systems, and soil health. Projects include NASA-funded carbon monitoring in East Africa and the Cornell Pyrolysis Kiln for waste-to-energy转化.
