Key research questions / objectives
- What are the water and nutrient budgets of differently aged coniferous plantations on volcanic soils?
- What are the nutrient contributions provided by atmospheric sources, rock weathering and soil formation?
- Are fast-growing coniferous plantations on volcanic ash soils in Java sustainable from a soil fertility perspective?
