The Laboratory of Soil Physical and Hydraulic Properties aims at quantifying soil hydraulic behavior, characterizing its structural features, and assessing the impacts of natural and human-induced factors on its physical and hydraulic properties, as well as how these influence agricultural production and environmental sustainability. The laboratory’s analytical measurements and experimental applications are designed to improve water resources management, enhance soil health, and mitigate soil degradation caused by factors such as compaction, salinization, erosion, and others. The laboratory’s research also includes modeling of soil physical processes to support management policies and practices that improve the sustainability of ecosystems and water resources while reducing the impacts of climate change and variability.
