Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences

SLU Small 

 
Profile SLU´s main campus is Ultuna, six kilometres south of Uppsala. The faculties of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences, and of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science are also located at Campus Ultuna. Many of SLU's degree programmes are given here.
The research at the Department of Soil and Environment seeks knowledge about the interaction between man, soil, plant and the surrounding environment in forest and agricultural landscapes as well as urban environments. Collaboration and continuous dialogue with stakeholders and the public is the foundation for our research. Therefore, we work closely with the agricultural and forestry sectors, extension services and authorities. We deliver quality-assured data from environmental monitoring. The data is collected through the national and regional environmental monitoring programs for agricultural land. At the department, different field trials are conducted as a part of the applied research. Most of them are located at our field stations Lanna and Ekhaga. The department also performs a variety of analyses of soil samples, water samples and various plant materials.
