Dr Magdalena Kaczorowska-Dolowy
PhdPost-doctoral Research Associate
I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate working on the Potato LITE project, investigating sustainable soil and crop management with a particular focus on soil health. My current research project explores how several tillage practices, influence soil physical and biological properties, crop performance and greenhouse gas emissions.
My research background includes a PhD investigating the effects of traffic and tillage systems on soil health and crop growth, followed by postdoctoral work in evidence synthesis at the Centre for Evidence-Based Agriculture (CEBA). This experience combines field-based soil and crop research with evidence synthesis and the communication of scientific findings to support agricultural and environmental decision-making.
My research interests include:
- Soil health and soil quality
- Agricultural traffic systems including low tyre inflation pressure and controlled traffic farming (CTF)
- Tillage and cultivation systems
- Sustainable crop production
- Environmental impacts of agriculture
- Evidence synthesis and research communication
