Collaborations
We collaborate with different research groups at SLU and have several international collaborations, for example within EJP Soil. This also gives us the opportunity to study relationships between soil management, soil properties and climate across larger geographical gradients.
In some research projects we collaborate with farmers and advisors, e.g. “on-farm studies”. With our research, we contribute directly to Greppa näringens soil compaction module.
All our PhD students have an assistant supervisor in another country.
Funders
Amongst others; Formas, SLF, KSLA, Novo Nordisk Fonden, Lantmännen, EU (EJP Soil, ICT Agri-Food), Jordbruksverket, Naturvårdsverket (environmental monitoring).
Environmental monitoring: soil compaction
The environmental monitoring programme “soil compaction” was started in 2003, aiming at assessing the temporal evolution of the physical quality Swedish arable soils.

Long-term field experiments
We currently manage 12 long-term field experiments where we investigate effects of different soil management systems on soil quality and crop productivity.
