Clain A. Jones
Assistant Professor; Ph.D. in Soil Chemistry, Montana State University, 1998; M.S. in Environmental Engineering and Science, Univ. of Washington, 1988; B.S. in Agricultural Engineering, Cornell University, 1986. Interests: Evaluating processes controlling availability of nutrients and educating extension agents, crop advisers, farmers, ranchers, and homeowners on nutrient management strategies that optimize crop growth while protecting air and water quality.
Current research: Evaluating effects of crop and nutrient management practices on soil nutrient availability, nitrogen losses to the environment, and nitrogen use efficiency.
