Landscape Pedology

 

It is the strategic aim of the working group Landscape Pedology (SoilScape) to develop an improved understanding of the dynamics and functionality of soil landscapes. This will be achieved through a joint analysis of soil processes / functions and structures across scales - from the micro to the landscape scale. We combine experimental approaches, long-term measurements, modelling and continuous method development, to unravel landscape-scale carbon and nutrient dynamics, feedback mechanisms of soil erosion (e. g. wind), the long-term dynamics of soil landscapes and their impact on soil fertility.
