Section overview
Description
Research in the Institute focuses on the identification, prognosis, and ecological evaluation of changes in biotic processes in soils resulting from anthropogenic activities. The main aim is to investigate the impact of pollutants and land use on the soil as habitat, and the soil-regulated chemical balance and its impact on other environmental compartments like the atmosphere and water bodies.
