The Department of Soil and Physical Sciences has responsibility for the delivery of all undergraduate and postgraduate soil-related subjects, and many physical science subjects.
The range of research being undertaken is extensive but in recent years has increasingly focused on environmental issues, especially soil's role and influence on water and air quality.

A study of the influence of aspect on some soil properties of a Kaikoura steepland soil under a tussock grassland : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Honours) in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1971)Steepland soils tend to show more variability than soils on rolling or flat land. One of the factors responsible for some of the variation within these soils is the microclimatic changes that occur between different aspects ... -
The influence of mor forming vegetation and time on clay mineral genesis : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Diploma of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1972)The effects of time and a vegetation cover of Red Beech (Nothofagus fusca) on clay mineral genesis have been studied on a sequence of terrace soils near Reefton. The soils, which are of similar origin, are developed on ... -
Studies of nutrient requirements of lucerne on acid soils : A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Diploma of Agricultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)This work describes two pot trials conducted under glasshouse conditions on Omahau (pH 5.6), Grampians (pli 5.6) and Wolds (pH 6.2) soil from the McKenzie Country, South Island, New Zealand, to investigate the adaptability ... -
Rapid assessment of xenobiotic toxicity : a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment for a Bachelor of Science with Honours at Lincoln University
(Lincoln University, 2001)Conventional analytical techniques for monitoring toxicity offer high precision but are disadvantaged by the high cost of specialised equipment, the need for trained personnel and the observation that measured levels do ... -
Co-occurring increased phosphatase activity and labile P depletion in the rhizosphere of Lupinus angustifolius assessed with a novel, combined 2D-imaging approach
(Elsevier, 2021-02)Innovative non-destructive 2D imaging methods such as zymography and diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) have been developed recently to assess the distribution of phosphatase activity and labile solutes at the root-soil ...
