Soil biogeochemistry laboratory

Laboratory
Summary

The Laboratory of Soil Biogeochemistry (SOIL) at EPFL focuses on elucidating the fundamental biogeochemical mechanisms driving the cycling of essential elements, particularly carbon, in soil systems under a changing climate. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the team studies interactions between living and non-living components of soils using experimental techniques from environmental chemistry, pedology, geology, and microbiology. By combining field studies, laboratory experiments, and modeling efforts, SOIL aims to gain a mechanistic understanding of soil processes, with a specific interest in electron transfer reactions and energy transformations. The research outcomes contribute to improving predictions of element cycling and informing sustainable soil management practices.
