Foundation Ecology & Agriculture (Institution)

For more than 40 years the Foundation Ecology & Agriculture (SÖL) has contributed to the promotion and progress of Organic Agriculture. Founded in 1962 by Karl Werner Kieffer and Dagi Kieffer, SÖL is a non-profit, independent institution that promotes and encourages research. Good soil, clean water and fresh air are the foundations of our life. In particular rural organic agriculture...

Institute for Soil Science (Institution)

Research in the Institute focuses on the identification, prognosis, and ecological evaluation of changes in biotic processes in soils resulting from anthropogenic activities. The main aim is to investigate the impact of pollutants and land use on the soil as habitat, and the soil-regulated chemical balance and its impact on other environmental compartments like the atmosphere and water bodies.

Soil Sciences (Institution)

The Research Unit focuses on the question how biogeochemical processes in forest soils, e.g. nutrient supply or organic carbon mineralization, are affected by external forces, such as pollutant transfer and climatic changes. The group investigates how forest dynamics feed back on soil physics, soil chemistry and soil biology. On a micro scale the research group develops experimental and...

Institute of Soil Landscape Research (Institution)

The Institute of Soil Landscape Research' studies structures, processes and functions of soil landscapes. We understand by soil landscapes soil associations, evolved over long time, in the recent landscape-ecological process structure. The priority of our work is put on the development of innovative methods and their cross-scale integration.
