Working Group Water and Soil Resources Research (Prof. Fiener)

The working group adopts a holistic approach to the interactions between land use, land management as well as water and soil resources. The following topics are of special hydrological interest:

  • surface runoff and soil redistribution processes in the context of hydrological connectivity,
  • lateral redistribution of soil carbon and its impact on the terrestrial and aquatic carbon balance,
  • sustainable management of water and soil resources in agricultural landscapes.
