Soil science
Soil science is the study of soil as a natural resource on the surface of the Earth including soil formation, classification and mapping; physical, chemical, biological, and fertility properties of soils; and these properties in relation to the use and management of soils.
Eutrophication
The Eutrophication Programme is intended to provide data on which to base action to combat eutrophication of our aquatic systems. It should provide an up-to-date picture of the source and size of
Koldynamiken i marken – Spelar variationen av det organiska materialet någon roll?
The soil biota can be regarded as the ‘biological engine’ of the Earth, driving many of the key ecosystem services which soils deliver. Besides carbon and nutrients, the soil biota require energy to
