Pietro Sica serves as a Guest Researcher within the Section for Plant and Soil Sciences at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen. Based at Thorvaldsensvej 40, 1871 Frederiksberg C, Denmark, he maintains active research engagement with contact details including phone +4535321271 and email pietro@plen.ku.dk.
His research spans Soil Science, Plant Nutrition, and Sustainable Agriculture, with specialized focus on phosphorus cycling in agricultural systems. Key interests include optimizing nutrient use efficiency through biowaste acidification, strategic fertilizer placement, and isotopic tracer methodologies (33P, 18O) to dissect soil-plant nutrient dynamics. Complementary work in Microbiology addresses yeast fermentation challenges for bioethanol production, particularly osmotic stress mitigation and microbial contamination control in high-gravity systems.
Analysis of his 26 research outputs (2024-2025) reveals two dominant thematic clusters: (1) phosphorus management innovations using acidified biowastes and precision placement techniques across horticultural and field systems, and (2) fermentation biotechnology for sustainable biofuel production. His work integrates soil chemistry, plant physiology, and microbial ecology to advance circular economy principles in agriculture.
Collaborative networks span Denmark, Portugal, Brazil, and other European nations, evidenced by multinational co-authorship patterns. Publications appear in high-impact journals including Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Plant and Soil, and European Journal of Soil Science, with significant open-access dissemination through the university's Pure repository.
