Peter Sørensen

Professor Peter Sørensen leads research in agroecology and soil fertility at Aarhus University's Department of Agroecology. His work focuses on sustainable agricultural systems, nitrogen management, and optimizing livestock systems. He has contributed to projects like CCRotate (2020-2023) and ClimOptic (2019-2022), which address cover crop utilization and climate-smart fertilization strategies. His research spans soil-nutrient interactions, organic farming practices, and bioenergy systems. Key publications include studies on nitrogen cycling in crop rotations and optimizing methane production from agricultural byproducts.

• Primary affiliation: Department of Agroecology (Soil Fertility)
• Secondary role: Research leadership in EU-funded projects

Research interests emphasize bridging agronomic practices with environmental sustainability, particularly in temperate arable systems. His work integrates field experiments with life cycle assessments to evaluate agricultural interventions' ecological impacts.
