VICENTE PONS MARTI

Vicente Pons Marti is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Biology at the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, University of Valencia. His work bridges plant biology and environmental soil science, with a focus on agricultural sustainability and soil health.

His research interests include soil science, agricultural chemistry, heavy metal contamination (particularly lead), soil reclamation, mineral nutrition in plants, and waste management in agricultural systems. These areas are central to understanding and mitigating environmental degradation in dryland farming regions.

He is a member of the SOREiMA (Soil Pollution, Assessment and Reclamation, Mineral Nutrition and Waste Management) research group, which conducts interdisciplinary studies on contaminated soils and sustainable nutrient management practices.

Vicente Pons Marti earned his PhD from the University of Valencia in 1985 with a thesis titled Contenido y evolucion del plomo en los suelos de secano de la provincia de Valencia, focusing on lead dynamics in non-irrigated soils of the Valencia region. This early work laid the foundation for long-term research into soil pollution and its agricultural implications.

He has advised graduate students and contributed to research projects related to soil quality and plant nutrition, though specific student names and grants are not listed in the available text. His collaborative work is aligned with environmental protection and sustainable land use in Mediterranean agricultural contexts.
