Main aspects of the current research are (i) the characterization of the composition, fractions and properties of organic matter in forest and agricultural soils as well as from organic fertilizers and (ii) the fate of organic xenobiotics, nutrients and toxic elements in soils and substrates. Experimental approaches of soil chemistry, biology and physics are combined and chemical and mathematical analytical methods are used for the evaluation and prognosis of the fate of compounds and soil pollution. The major aim is to elucidate the basic mechanisms and processes with regard to the composition of the relevant soil (micro)compartments and especially the interactions with soil organic matter and its respective variability. This includes considering on the one hand physicochemical parameters on a molecular scale and on the other hand local soil properties. The overriding goal is to characterize soil functions with their influence on the fate and effects of natural and anthropogenic compounds and their exchange with adjacent environmental compartments (plants, water). Research projects of the last years were especially focused on the diffuse input, fate and effects of polar xenobiotics, especially pharmaceutical antibiotics in soil.
