Especialización
Gonzalo Almendros Martín has specialized in the structure and function of organic matter in different soil types, both from the point of view of their molecular characterization, and in its effect on soil productivity and ecosystem functioning. His activities focus on the evaluation and control of environmental impacts in soils and sediments and the analysis of processes with a bearing on global change and carbon sequestration, ecosystem conservation and soil productivity and its regulatory role in the mobility of pollutants and bioelements. The research developed in the Laboratoty of Humus Chemistry grouped into: 1) Origin, structure and function of humic substances [Basic studies on the molecular level]. 2) Ecological study of humification [biogeochemistry in terrestrial ecosystems]. 3) Applied research on humic substances in natural resources and wastes. [Organic matter in the control of soil functioning]. These lines aimed at two complementary objectives: a) To extract environmental information from the molecular characterization of humus. b) To establish functional relationships to explain and to improve the properties of soils.
