The institute hosts a modern soil chemical and soil physical infrastructure.
Currently, research evolves around the following topics: - The soil solution as a monitor for ecosystem processes
- Gas fluxes in forest soils
- The importance of the coarse soil fraction ("soil skeleton") for bio- and geochemical element cycles
- Forest opening and soil erosion
- The prediction of nitrogen losses from specialised cultivations
- The influence of soil deformation on soil functions
