SPP 1315: Biogeochemical interface formation in soils as controlled by different components
Project
Project code: DFG SPP 1315
Contract period: 01.01.2007
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Basic research
The formation of soil interfaces is controlled by the type of particle surface(s) present and the assemblage of organic matter and mineral particles. We consider clay minerals, iron oxides and charcoal, all exhibiting high surface area and microporosity, as major soil components forming interfaces associated with organic matter which control the formation of interfaces relevant for sorption of organic chemicals. The objective of our project is to gain insight into the spatial and temporal development of these organo-mineral interfaces that develop during the incorporation of organic matter in mineral soils.
