He was the President of the British Soil Science Society (2017-2018), and is a Fellow of the Institute of Soil Science. Professor Otten is internationally-renowned for his research on measuring and modelling physical, chemical and microbial processes in soil. Dr. Mohammed Naveed is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing and Engineering at the University of West London, UK. He is a soil scientist working on solutions to food and environmental security, mainly focused on the interactions between plants, microorganisms and the physical behaviour of soil. He has (co)authored over 40 peer-reviewed journal papers and conference papers. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
