ENV 208 - BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLES

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Environmental Science

Description:

Biogeochemical cycles and processes are complex in that many factors influence the local to global flux and pools of nutrients and materials among the atmosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere. This course focuses on developing knowledge of the description and interpretation of the fundamental physical, biological and chemical principles of nutrient cycles at multiple spatial scales with a focus on impacts to agriculture. This course is intended as a theoretical introduction to biogeochemistry in the context of agriculture and is supported by application of these topics in 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (ENV 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to the concepts of biogeochemistry.
