The Pasture Systems and Watershed Management Research Unit is located across the street from the Berkey Creamery on the Penn State University campus
Ammonia volatilization is measured from barn floors and following subsurface injection of manure to measure potential improvements in air quality
Laboratory and field experimental studies are done to monitor and improve ground and surface water quality
Software tools are developed, evaluated and used to find strategies for improving the economic and environmental sustainability of farming systems
Field studies are monitoring changes in soil carbon in pasture and grassland systems
Animal feeding behavior is monitored and artificial rumens are used to develop better feeding practices.
