Research Hydrologist examining the impact of cropping practices on watershed processes under a variety of management, weather, and soil conditions

Adam Schreiner-McGraw, Phd is a Research Hydrologist with the USDA Agricultural Research Service. His research background is in ecohydrology and he applies this theoretical framework to understand feedbacks between cropping practices, the hydrologic cycle, and plant available water. He uses micrometeorological techniques to measure fluxes of gaseous compounds of carbon, water, and nitrogen between the land surface and atmosphere. These measurements inform estimates of plant growth and water and nitrogen use efficiencies and how they respond to environmental conditions. He also uses this data to inform and improve process-based watershed models. The models allow researchers to examine the impact of cropping practices on watershed processes under a variety of management, weather, and soil conditions.
