Research Interests: My research activity is documented by ca. 70 papers in ISI journals and ca. 130 book chapters, articles in Conference proceedings and Congress presentations. I am asssociate editor of the Elsevier journal Catena.
My main research interests are related to the processes of soil development because they shape natural soil fertility and affect soil agricultural use. Special emphasis was given to soil physical properties (e.g. soil structure development, soil porosity etc..) and to the evaluation of soil erosion. I have research collaborations in many European countries as well as in Japan, Australia, Russia and America.
