About Bo Yi
Hi, my name is Bo Yi (易博). I got my Ph.D. at Iowa State University. My research focus is to use data-model fusion approaches (laboratory experiments, field studies, and process-based modeling) to determine how to incorporate mechanistic mechanisms into soil organic carbon decomposition modeling (i.e., litterfall quality and carbon stability) and determine the impact of agricultural management (i.e., diversified rotation cropping system and cover crops) on carbon stability and persistence in terrestrial ecosystems.

No Free Lunch — A soil perspective on sustainable agriculture
Sustainable and regenerative agriculture often employs diverse systems of crop rotation to reduce environmental impacts and sequester carbon. A long-term field study, however, reveals a trade-off between soil organic carbon storage and nitrogen supply.
