Studying of soil structure including processes of formation of aggregates is  one of mainstreams of work on the department.
For the first time the newest methods of soil research have been theoretically proved and applied to the decision of concrete soil problems: magnetic (V.F.Babanin), electric (A.I.Pozdnjakov), thermodynamic - an estimation of soil water condition (I.I.Sudnitsyn, A.D.Voronin, E.V.Shein).
Wood soils are studied (including change of soils under artificial wood plantings), their genesis, distribution in space, participation in formation of a soil cover and functioning of wood ecosystems. Researches on a gas mode and rheological properties of soil have extended.
The group of soil improvement has continued researches of hydromorphic soils, including influence of fires on peat soil, a role of addition of sand in preservation of peat soil and reclamation problems. Works on studying heat properties and regimes of soil are begun.
