DESCRIPTION: Sustainability by Design: Advancing Water Management Through Soil Biophysics\nby Dr. Jing Yan\n \nThe global population reached 8 billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass 9 billion by 2050. Meeting future food demands will require a 50–100% increase in agricultural production over the next 40 years, but water management remains a major challenge in sustaining crop productivity. Soil physical and hydrological processes regulate water availability, nutrient movement, and plant growth, making them central to effective soil and water management. A deeper understanding of these processes is key to developing better strategies for sustainable water use in agriculture.\n\nThis presentation will explore how insights from soil biophysics, specifically the interactions between soil minerals, plant roots, and soil microbes, can improve soil water retention and enhance plant water usage efficiency. I will share recent research on how biological processes influence soil hydraulic properties and water dynamics, with a focus on translating fundamental research into practical applications. This talk will foster discussion on bridging scientific research with real-world practices to advance sustainable water management.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for meeting:\nhttps://hawaii.zoom.us/meeting/register/U4ToDWSoTFelG6H11nKSiQ
