Within the core research activities of the Institute, it focuses on the following cross-disciplinary and research tasks:
the interactions of the soil-plant environment, the water, material and energy circulation of soils, the quantitative and qualitative changes of soil organic matter, the movement of organic and inorganic pollutants in the soil-plant system, the exploration of soil microbial and macro level communities, spatial and temporal modeling of soil cover knowledge;
the use of soil biomass for environmental indication purposes, the utilization of bio-waste and sewage sludge suitable for soil improvement or alternative nutrient replenishment, the support of circular economy objectives, the mapping of soil cover characteristics and processes, and the modeling of water and turnover processes;
clarification of the role of soil in greenhouse gas traffic with different land use and management, short- and long-term study of the relationship between soil nutrient supply and fertilizer effects; assessment and mapping of degradation processes to the detriment of soil functions at different scales; development of survey methods for monitoring soil conditions and processes;
soil database and spatial data infrastructure, as well as the operation and continuous development of an environmentally friendly nutrient management advisory system, support for policy tasks affecting soil and environment interactions.
