Martina Kittinger is a Researcher at the Institute of Soil Research, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). She holds an International Master's in Natural Resources Management and Ecological Engineering (2004-2008) and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Protection (1999-2002) from Bournemouth University.

• Specializes in soil science and environmental science, focusing on nitrous oxide emissions, soil organic matter balances, and climate change mitigation in agricultural systems.
• Active in European Commission-funded projects like "Linking crop diversification to microbial energy allocation and organic carbon storage in soil" and "Towards a climate-smart sustainable management of agricultural soils".
• Research themes include greenhouse gas inventory methods, agricultural soil modeling, and nitrogen use efficiency in farming systems.
• Collaborates with institutions including Institute of Organic Farming and European Geosciences Union (EGU).

Her publications analyze soil-climate interactions, agricultural emission factors, and sustainable farming practices. She has presented at international conferences like the Organic World Congress and European Geosciences Union General Assembly, focusing on modeling trade-offs between agricultural productivity and environmental impacts.
