Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition

The Commission IV of the German Soil Science Society (DBG) investigates the soil as a site for agricultural, horticultural and silvicultural production. Specific focus is put on

matter turnover in the rooting zone
interactions with groundwater and atmosphere
matter turnover and balances at different scales
plant availability of nutrients and water
nutrient accquisition by plant roots
maintenance and increase of soil fertility, incl. fertilisation

To address these interdisciplinary issues, a close cooperation exists with other commissions of the DBG and with the German Society for Plant Nutrition (DGP).
