Institute of Soil Landscape Research (ZALF-BLF)
The Institute of Soil Landscape Research' studies structures, processes and functions of soil landscapes. We understand by soil landscapes soil associations, evolved over long time, in the recent landscape-ecological process structure. The priority of our work is put on the development of innovative methods and their cross-scale integration.
