We are studying soils which support life and food production. Our primary disciplines are “Properties, genesis, classification and utilization of volcanic ash soils” and “Soil–-plant interactions”.
Recent research topics are
- Changes in element concentration of tephra with Andosol formation,
- Analyzing specificity of iron and manganese minerals in Andosols,
- Evaluation of essential element availabilities in soils such as sulfur and manganese,
- Development of risk alleviation methods for cadmium and arsenic in agricultural ecosystem.
