No course description available.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces soil ecological processes and management in terrestrial environments. Discusses interaction of soil, biological, chemical, morphological, and physical properties with land management in wildland and agricultural ecosystems. Emphasis of the course is on plant response to soil conditions. Prerequisites: CHEM 1000 or 1020.
-
3.00 Credits
Studies basic soil-water relationships, evapotranspiration, water quality criteria, efficiencies, plant response and management, as they apply to irrigation of agricultural lands. Cross listed with PLNT 2300. Prerequisite: MATH 1400.
-
3.00 Credits
Study of the complexity of plant/soil water relationships and its importance on irrigation. Soil and water relations, reference/crops evapotranspiration and management of the water balance. Principles of chemigation, computer modeling/monitoring included. Methods for irrigation scheduling and the importance of water use efficiency as a strategy for water conservation. Prerequisites: MATH 1400, SOIL 2010.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to environmental quality issues and events. Course emphasizes impacts to soil, water, atmospheric, and vegetative ecosystems due to different nutrients and contaminants, including nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, trace elements, and organic chemicals. Current information pertaining to environmental quality is discussed and a field trip to the Union Pacific Tie Plant. Cross listed with ENR 3130. Prerequisites: complete at least one University Studies Science course (SB, SP or SE) or (PN).
-
3.00 Credits
Examines forms and interrelations of matter and energy in the soil environment. Primarily addresses fluxes and transformations of soil water and solutes, as well as physical properties that influence soil productivity. Dual listed with SOIL 5100. Prerequisite: SOIL 2010 or equivalent introductory soils course.
-
2.00 Credits
Teaches students the methodology and use of equipment to measure soil physical properties in the laboratory and field. Experiments include particle size analysis, soil surface area, soil-water measurement with neutron probe and TDR, field infiltration rate, soil-water retention curve, soil pore size distribution, saturated and unsaturated conductivities, soil water potential and solute breakthrough curve. Dual listed with SOIL 5105. Prerequisite: SOIL 2010.
-
4.00 Credits
Processes of soil development and methods of description, survey and classification. Includes field trips which examine soils in the Laramie Basin and surrounding mountains. Dual listed with SOIL 5120. Prerequisite: SOIL 2010.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the chemical properties and reactions that occur in the soil environment. Fundamental principles of soil mineralogy, organic matter and equilibrium chemistry as they relate to soil chemical reactions, plant nutrient availability and pedogenetic processes will be emphasized. Dual listed with SOIL 5130. Prerequisite: SOIL 2010, CHEM 1030 or CHEM 1060.
-
2.00 Credits
Laboratory techniques and methods of analysis are used to examine soils, sediments, and water chemical characteristics and reactions. Experiments include data analysis, computer models, nutrient and contaminant characteristics, mineral properties, soil/sediment oxidation-reduction reactions as well as others. Students are required to develop a soil chemistry experiment in their area of interest. Dual listed with SOIL 5135. Prerequisites: completion or concurrent enrollment in SOIL 4130/5130 or GEOL 4777.
