<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The chair group Soil Chemistry and Chemical Soil Quality is engaged in fundamental soil chemical research and education. We aim to develop a generic understanding of soil chemical processes
at the molecular scale and nanoscale, in relation to ecosystem services such as soil fertility, carbon sequestration, and sustainment of soil and groundwater quality. In addition, we focus on how these underlying processes and functions are influenced by closing
cycles and increasing use of residual/waste materials in the soil environment. We follow a research strategy based on novel experimental/analytical techniques and geochemical model development and application. A large state-of-the-art chemical laboratory and
WEPAL, a world-leading organiser of proficiency testing programmes for soil, sediment, plants and organic waste are also embedded in the chair group. Our main research themes are:<br>
• Soil fertility: soil chemical controls on the bioavailability of nutrients, and their coupling to biological processes, in support of sustainable nutrient management and food security<br>
• Environmental geochemistry: identifying and quantifying processes that control soil and groundwater quality; new challenges arising from increasing recycling of materials (“circular economy”) and behaviour of emerging contaminants such as manufactured nanoparticles<br>
• Soil carbon: biogeochemical processes controlling carbon sequestration and nutrient availability; analytical characterization of soil carbon in light of its multiple roles in soil functioning<br>
<br>
The chair group is part of the Department of Environmental Sciences of Wageningen University. The department’s fundamental research and education concern our living environment: nature, landscape, land use, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, water
management, and various competing claims on space. We are increasingly joining forces in research and teaching among the four soil chairs in the department to advance and disseminate our understanding of interplaying soil chemical, biological, physical and
geographical drivers in land-use and ecosystem services.<br>
<br>
Wageningen University & Research<br>
Delivering a substantial contribution to the quality of life. That's our focus – each and every day. Within our domain of good and safe food & food production, food security and a healthy living environment, we search for answers to issues affecting society
– such as sustainable food production, climate change and alternative energy. Of course, we don’t do this alone. Every day, 5000 people work on ‘the quality of life’, turning ideas into reality, on a global scale.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
