Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Elvis Elli's research program at the University of Arkansas focuses on the intricate interactions between crop genotypes, environmental conditions, and management practices. His work aims to enhance the productivity, sustainability, resilience, and circularity of agroecosystems, particularly in the context of a changing climate. Dr. Elli leverages the development and application of crop process-based models, alongside his expertise in crop physiology, agricultural meteorology, and data analytics, to address these complex challenges.

His recent publications investigate critical aspects of crop science, including the historical increases in harvest index and leaf area index in maize breeding, and the slowing genetic gain in maize leaf angle. He has also explored the impacts of climate change and management strategies on soybean nitrogen fixation, soil nitrogen mineralization, nitrous oxide emissions, and seed yield, with a specific focus on Brazilian agricultural frontiers. Further research has examined water table dynamics under varying climate scenarios in the US Corn Belt and assessed yield gaps in eucalypt production in Brazil, contributing to the understanding of agricultural self-sufficiency strategies.
