The Laboratory of Soil Physics and Hydrology investigates dynamic processes in the soil-mulch-plant-atmosphere-system. Research includes study of the physical properties of soils, the measurement, control and prediction of heat water and chemical movement in soils, and applications to improve soil and environmental management.
