We research and teach about soil, water, and environmental sciences in urban, agricultural, and natural ecosystems. As a university of Florida department within the institute of food and agricultural sciences and the college of agricultural and life sciences, we offer degree, certificate, and extension programs on campus and online. Since our origins, more than 100 years ago, we have made significant contributions to improving the productivity of Florida’s agriculture, helping protect the state's unique ecosystems, and contributing to soil and water science at national and international levels.

New Research: The Impact of Sulfur Application on Potatoes
New Research: SHAPEv1.0 and dynamic soil health indicators
Special Issue: Everglades Stormwater Treatment Areas - Science & Management

Research

We conduct research in five key areas across Florida and beyond.

Teaching

We educate undergraduate and graduate students on campus and online.

UF research: Proper grazing-land management can increase soil carbon storage, but more research needed

Soil can store carbon, reducing greenhouse gas concentrations from the atmosphere, and managing grazing lands in the best ways can increase their ability to provide these important ecosystems services. But insufficient research into how to better sequester carbon can lead to misinformation for ranchers, new University of Florida research shows. In her review of

UF/IFAS scientists launch landscape water use survey to enhance water conservation efforts, programs statewide

Looking for ways to help save on your household water bill? Wondering how often to irrigate the lawn? Perhaps you are looking at the use of technologies that will help you gauge when and how often to irrigate. A team of University of Florida researchers at the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) has released the Landscape Water Use Survey, which is aimed at
