Timothy R. Cavagnaro
Manages soil biology and mycorrhizal associations to improve nutrient uptake and carbon cycling in dryland cropping, vineyards, orchards, and urban agriculture.
The record

- Works on
- arbuscular mycorrhizae, mycorrhiza-defective mutants, soil carbon in cropping, vineyard floor management, urban agriculture.
Standing is this studio’s placement of the work, not a ranking of the person, and it is the one line here that is a judgement rather than a cited fact.
The work
Professor of Soil Ecology at Flinders University (Adelaide), where he is also Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Training and Capabilities) and Dean of Graduate Research. Previously professor at the University of Adelaide. His group uses mycorrhiza-defective mutant tomatoes and field trials to test how AMF, biochar, cover crops, and organic amendments shape zinc and phosphorus nutrition, soil carbon, and pathogen resistance in South Australian systems.
