Kate Congreves is an Associate Professor and Jarislowsky BMO Research Chair in Regenerative Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Agriculture and Bioresources. Her research program focuses on understanding nitrogen (N) flows, cycling, and losses in crop production systems. She investigates the fundamental mechanisms that regulate N cycling and ecosystem processes across various cropping systems, including field crops, specialty crops, and horticultural crops. Her laboratory specializes in field-based agronomy research, employing 15N stable isotopes techniques to trace N dynamics and measure greenhouse gas emissions using flux gradient micrometeorological techniques and chambers. Current projects address diversification in cropping systems to control soil N transformations, enhance crop N uptake and use efficiency, and examine N2O emission dynamics. Congreves aims for the widespread implementation of sustainable N management practices, contributing to the creation of regenerative agroecosystems that mitigate reactive-N threats to the environment.
