The lab studies the soils of forests and grasslands.
AboutAbout the lab
Examining how soil works through chemistry
The Soil Environmental Chemistry Lab conducts research on forest soils, soil organic matter, and the soils of the Eurasian steppe.
The university's researcher directory lists soil carbonates, soil aggregates, soil organic matter, and pedogenesis as research keywords.
In the College of Agro-Biological Resource Sciences, the lab is listed as one of the research areas of the Applied Life Chemistry course (chemistry field).
Key terms
- Soil organic matter
- Organic matter contained in soil. One of the components of soil
- Soil aggregates
- Small clusters formed when soil particles stick together
- Eurasian steppe
- The belt of grassland that stretches across the Eurasian continent

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies forest soils from the perspective of environmental chemistry, soil organic matter from the perspective of soil ecology, and the Eurasian steppe from the perspective of soil conservation. This research is listed on the university's faculty search page.
*Illustrative imageEnvironmental chemistry of forest soils
The lab studies forest soils from the perspective of environmental chemistry.
*Illustrative imageExploring soil organic matter through ecology
The lab studies organic matter in soil from the perspective of soil ecology. Co-authored papers on soil organic matter include a study of the association between organic matter and minerals in soils at high elevations in heavy-snowfall mountain areas, and a study of how dissolved organic matter affects changes in soil aggregates.
*Illustrative imageSoil conservation on the Eurasian steppe
The lab studies the soils of the steppe on the Eurasian continent. Its co-authored papers include a study that examined oxygen isotopes in quartz in surface soil by particle size to trace the sources of wind-blown dust.
