Activities:
- Research
Focus of Research:
- Interaction between soil minerals and the environment (weathering)
- Interaction between soil organic matter an the environment (decomposition)
- Nitrogen dynamics in soil
- Soils as sources and sinks of greenhouse gases
- Transport of dissolved matter in the soil profile
- Water and nutrient balances of forest ecosystems in temperate areas
- Water and nutrient uptake through tree roots
