Soil Science
| Soils are complex media which support plant growth by supplying nutrients and water, store and clean water and contain more carbonthan the above-ground biomass and the atmosphere combined. Soils are critical for sustainability of agricultural and natural ecosystems. We have expertise in soil chemistry (fertilisers, contaminants, soil carbon), soil physics (soil structure and water availability) and soil biology (nutrient cycling, roots and rhizosphere, mycorrhiza). For a better understanding of soil processes and functions, the interactions between soil chemistry, physics and biology need to be considered. This is reflected in our research projects and joint supervision of postgraduate students. |  |
