Soil Chemistry Group
As Soil Chemistry Group we study soil chemical processes at the very small scale to better understand soil functions at larger scales. By developing, modelling and implementing soil chemical knowledge, we contribute to the sustainable use of our soils.

Research
-
Soil Fertility
Within the theme Soil Fertility, we study how the chemical processes in our soils influence the availability of plant nutrients.
-
Environmental Geochemistry
Within the theme Environmental Geochemistry, we study the fate and behaviour of contaminants and nutrients in soils and sediments.
-
Soil Carbon
Within the theme Soil Carbon, we study the behaviour and the many different roles of carbon in the soil system.
Education
At the Soil Chemistry Group we care about education and therefore we coordinate and contribute to multiple courses on BSc and MSc level. It is also possible to do your internship, thesis or research practice in our group.
