Development of technologies for the protection and recovery of soil ecosystem and monitoring methodologies. Concerning soil protection and recovery, the laboratory studies the structure, functioning, and productivity of terrestrial ecosystems, focusing on global changes and anthropogenic pressure. Regarding monitoring methodologies, the laboratory combines the study of conventional indicators of agronomic soil fertility (pH, EC, CSC, organic matter, TN, nutrients etc..) with non-conventional indicators of the mineralization and/or humification processes of the organic substance through the application of the gas chromatography pyrolysis technique for the study of its chemical-structural composition.
