Dr. Adil Mihoub is a soil scientist at the Centre de Recherche Scientifique et Technique sur les Régions Arides (CRSTRA), specializing in sustainable soil and water management in arid environments. He holds an Engineer degree (2009), a Magister (2012), a PhD in Soil Science (2017), and an HDR (2020) from Kasdi Merbah University. His research focuses on soil fertility, phosphorus dynamics in calcareous soils, organic amendments, biochar, salinity stress, and GIS-based land suitability assessment. Dr. Mihoub has published extensively in Q1/Q2 journals and contributes to developing climate-smart, resilient agricultural systems in the Algerian Sahara.

EDUCATION

Dr. Adil Mihoub holds a solid academic foundation in soil and agricultural sciences, beginning with a Baccalaureate in Natural and Life Sciences obtained in 2004. He earned a State Engineer degree in Saharan Agronomy in 2009 from Kasdi Merbah University, Ouargla, where he focused on phosphorus fertilization and wheat productivity under Saharan conditions. He continued at the same institution to complete a Magister in Soil Science in 2012, conducting research on phosphorus dynamics in the soil–plant system in arid environments. In 2017, he obtained his PhD in Agricultural Sciences, specializing in soil science, with a dissertation on phosphorus behavior in calcareous Saharan soils. Dr. Mihoub achieved his Habilitation to Supervise Research (HDR) in 2020, further strengthening his expertise and leadership in soil fertility and sustainable land management in arid regions.
