Dr. Paul Voroney is a professor at the University of Guelph in the School of Environmental Sciences. His research focuses on soil biology and biochemistry, including biogeochemical cycling of soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Dr. Voroney has extensive experience in soil management practices, organic waste management, and organic agriculture. He aims to study the effects of soil management and cropping practices on the dynamics of soil organic matter and its constituents. Using tracer techniques, he assesses the impacts of tillage, waste management, and cropping rates on the decomposition of plant residues and the formation of stable soil organic matter, contributing to soil fertility. His work includes examining soil microbial biomass as a vital component in organic matter transformations and developing methods to study various aspects of soil organic matter. Dr. Voroney has also led research projects funded by ICST (now ESTAC) to enhance the biodegradation of oily wastes produced by the petrochemical industry and has patented methods for managing decomposable carbon-rich organic wastes in conjunction with plant production.
