Department of Soil Physics
Institution
Section overview
Description
Soil physics at UFZ is focused on the quantitative understanding of water and mass fluxes at a scale between millimeters and kilometers, ranging from the pore-scale to the field. We seek to improve our quantitative understanding by means of model development along with experimental investigations.
Activities
- Research
Parent institution
Coordinated projects
- Collaborative project: Site-adapted nitrogen management based on subarea specific data processing – sytem-, hard- and software solution - subproject 3
- Experimental exploration of denitrification in multiscale porous media and soil
- Impact of effluent irrigation on soil water dynamics and sustainable land use: Synergistic effects of altered soil structure and wettability
- Joint project: identification of humus demand coefficients for energy crops and their production systems; Subproject 3: Dependence of humus demand coefficient of site conditions
Involved in research projects
- Dynamic balancing of humus balance and nutrient leaching on a regional scale in the context of land use and climate change
