Marius Heinen

Marius Heinen, Ph.D., is a dedicated Researcher at Wageningen University & Research specializing in Soil, Water and Land Use dynamics. With 202+ research outputs and 15 active/finished projects, he focuses on root water uptake modeling, crop growth simulation, and irrigation management in tropical and temperate agricultural systems.

• Key collaborations with universities in Brazil and the Netherlands
• Developer of advanced SWAP model applications
• Active in adaptive rootzone studies and land evaluation

His work integrates soil physics with agricultural engineering to address water management challenges under climate change.

Recent publications emphasize drought stress dynamics and soil compaction impacts, supported by datasets from controlled experiments. He participates in professional seminars and contributes to policy-oriented research through initiatives like Waterwijzer Landbouw.
