The chemistry of soils affects our life in many ways. Food production, forestry, and the effects of pollution on ecosystems are all dependent on chemical reactions that occur in soils. Our mission is to understand soil chemical processes and to evaluate the significance of these processes for element bioavailability, soil fertility, and the composition of runoff water.
Research areas
- Phosphorus chemistry in agricultural and forest soils
- Speciation and chemical reactions of metals and microplastics in soil
- Models for the chemistry and transport of elements in soil and water
- Turnover of phosphorus and cadmium in the soil-plant-atmosphere system
- Remediation of metal-contaminated soil
- Soil mineralogy and its significance for the availability of nutrients and metals
