Dr. Rakhwe Kama | Soil Remediation | Research Excellence Award

Rakhwe Kama is a researcher in Agricultural Water–Soil Engineering with strong expertise in agroecology, soil pollution and remediation, and environmental management for agriculture, focusing on sustainable solutions for contaminated agroecosystems. His research integrates water–soil–plant interactions, heavy metal migration and stabilization, ecological restoration, and food and water security, with particular emphasis on trace elements such as As, Cd, Pb, and Fe, as well as soil carbon and nitrogen cycling under different cropping and management systems. He has led and contributed to studies addressing the safe agricultural use of co-contaminated mining lands, the impacts of wastewater irrigation on metal mobility, and the role of planting patterns in regulating soil–plant associations and ecosystem diversity. His scholarly output demonstrates consistent impact, with 31 peer-reviewed publications that have received 330 citations across 292 citing documents, resulting in an h-index of 11. These publications appear in reputable international journals spanning environmental science, agroecology, and soil research, reflecting both fundamental and applied contributions. In addition to research productivity, his work supports sustainable agriculture, ecological resilience, and environmentally responsible land management, advancing practical strategies for soil remediation, pollution mitigation, and long-term agricultural sustainability in complex and contaminated environments.
