The Department of Soil and Environment is part of the Soil-Water-Environment cluster at SLU and belongs to both the Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences and the Faculty of Forest Sciences.
We offer courses at basic and advanced level in Soil science, Biology and Environmental science and PhD training in Soil Science.
We research soil science that is a multi-and interdisciplinary subject and covers the interaction between biological, chemical and physical processes and properties of the soil environment.
The Department of Soil and Environment carries out monitoring and assessment in agricultural landscapes and forests. We also investigate agricultural impact of eutrophication.
Field trials are conducted as a part of our applied rearch. Most of them are located to our field stations Lanna Research station outside Skara and Ekhaga outside Uppsala.
Results from the sampling of ground water and sediments, within the National Environmental Monitoring Program of Pesticides, are found here. Ground water is collected at two depths, four times a year, in each of the four model catchments that are included in the surface water monitoring program. Sediments are collected once a year at the surface water sampling site (in the stream draining the model catchment), as well as in the two rivers in the county of Skåne, in the south of Sweden, that are also included in the monitoring program.
