Main topics in accordance with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations:
In accordance with the modern views on plant nutrition, fertilizers can increase plant productivity only in cooperation with the soil microbiome, and soil organic matter that underlies sustainable systems and serves a reliable tool for plant-soil-microorganisms relationships. These two the most important components of the agroecosystem are in the focus of our research. The crop research priorities are focused on understanding the ways of the hormonal regulation of plant development – a subtle tool targeted at the most pressing challenges of modern agriculture, which opens up wide prospects and at the same time requires a fine handling skills of metabolic engineering.
Along with its traditional tasks of optimal nutrition for food and technical crops, agrochemistry is designed to solve the issues of functioning of urban agroecosystems, starting from classic historical gardens, parks and green constructions – the most important component of a full human life in the city. Thus, students get the opportunity to study the questions related with horticulture, gardening and landscape architecture with emphasize on sustainability of man-made landscapes to search innovative ways of growing plants and creating unique phytocosms in the very center of the metropolis. Agrochemistry can effectively cope with the environment pollution by accelerating the cycle of nutrients and the transformation of biogenic elements and xenobiotics, and in this case interlinking essential components of the biosphere. Our department is actively developing methods of bioassay to evaluate the state of soils polluted as a result of oil spills, application of organic waste, deicing agents and heavy metal contamination.
Bringing together agrochemistry and computational science expertise, the resulting data are analysed and interpreted with new approaches to assess the heterogeneity of soil cover and the dynamics of agroecosystems based on geostatistics and dynamic spatially distributed models and data from long-term field experiments with fertilizers.
The department has been publishing its own scientific and theoretical journal "Agrochemistry and Ecology Problems" since 2010 in paper and electronic versions. The journal promotes the ideas and discoveries of M.Sc. and Ph.D. scientists and approbation of new approaches and research methods in the field of agrochemistry.

Soil science is a science studying the regularities of formation and functioning of soils, their environmental functions, their role in the agricultural production and the role it plays in developing of landscapes.
The program in Soil Science is based on the following disciplines: pedology, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology, agro-chemistry, etc. A considerable time is devoted to special courses and research work resulting in bachelor’s and master's thesis. An important role is given to the basics of computer science and mathematical modelling of natural and soil processes, students acquiring the necessary computer skills and mastering modern information technologies.
Soil science largely concentrates on assessing land resources, which is especially important nowadays due to the changes in land use patters. Assessment of land resources involves evaluation of soil quality, its economic and ecological assessment and cost estimation. Thus, our graduates take part in the development of national land registration system.
Soil science lays the basis for rational land use, which requires knowledge of soil condition and economic and ecological estimation of land resources, including landscape characteristics and their aesthetic role. A developing branch of soil science is landscape architecture, which creates landscapes with customized aesthetic and functional features. Besides, soil scientists work on solving pollution problems, introduce standards for environmental regulation of land and water resources and forests, study the greenhouse effect and changes in the biological variability.
Environmental problems caused by human impact on the environment are the ones of the potential threats to sustainable development both in Russia and abroad. That is why we train highly demanded specialists in ecology.
The Ecology& Nature Management program includes theoretical and practical courses in general and applied ecology, the ecology of plants, animals and microorganisms, radiation ecology, toxicology, human ecology, ecological epidemiology, geo-urban planning, etc. Special importance is given to physical and chemical methods of studying the environment, the systems analysis of processes in the biosphere, and environmental management based on environmental expertise, audit, estimation of technogenic systems and ecological risks.
An ecologist should apply modern techniques to environmental studies, forecasting and modelling various natural and anthropogenic processes. That is why our students have thorough training in geoinformatics, geoinformation systems and modelling, computer-based data processing, and remote sensing.
We pay special attention to developing systems thinking abilities in our students, to ensure their comprehensive approach to the human-environment interaction and the impact of natural and technogenic factors on human health.
Our students can specialize in environmental expertise, environmental management and audit, environmental chemical and biological control, human ecology and ecological safety.
Our graduates can solve a range of problems: make a qualified assessment of various factors that affect the environment, evaluate social and economic activity on multiple territories, make ecological impact estimation for various projects, plan standard measures for environmental protection and rational environmental management, ensure environmental safety in various spheres of human activity, carry out control and audit of the environment, create and implement environmental management systems for industrial enterprises, multiple organizations, administrative and municipal bodies.
Our graduates work in various Russian Academy of Sciences institutions, institutions of higher education, ecological services of municipal and governmental bodies, business companies, audit, insurance, and marketing companies.
