-
4.00 Credits
Fundamental principles of soil microbiology and how they relate to microbial ecology, environmental contamination, agriculture and forestry. Cross listed with MICR 4140. Dual listed with SOIL 5140. Prerequisite: SOIL 2010.
-
3.00 Credits
Characteristics and management of forest and range soils primarily in arid environments. Examines pedagogical units representative of forests and ranges and soil properties, such as nutrient availability and water relations that influence plant growth. Dual listed with SOIL 5150. Prerequisites: SOIL 2010.
-
3.00 Credits
Soil properties, processes, and management practices that affect the capacity of the soil to supply nutrients to plants, resist degradation, recover from disturbance, and accumulate and store carbon. Dual listed with SOIL 5160. Prerequisite: SOIL 2010.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces methods for collecting, preparing and analyzing environment solid and solution samples. Emphasizes instrumental methods, quality control/quality assurance and data analysis. Requires student participation in laboratory sessions, which involve analysis of different environmental samples. Dual listed with SOIL 5170. Prerequisites: CHEM 1030, CHEM 1060 and CHEM 2230 recommended.
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on fundamental considerations of organic substances, microbiological systems, and chemical processes in soils, sediments and waters. Examination of the nature and origin or organic matter and the role of microorganisms in organic nutrient transformations, reactions, and interactions in different ecosystems. Dual listed with SOIL 5535. Prerequisites: SOIL 2010, completion of courses in introductory college chemistry and biology, and consent of instructor(s).
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces the diversity and ecology of soil microbes through an integrated lecture and laboratory course. Emphasis on molecular approaches to analyzing microbial diversity and evolution, and student-directed experimental design. Provides a continuum of realistic research experiences in molecular microbial ecology, from field work to evolutionary analysis of DNA sequence data. Cross listed with MOLB/MICR 4540. Dual listed with MOLB/SOIL/ECOL 5540. Prerequisites: MOLB 2210.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Library, laboratory, and/or green-house investigations on select research topics. Graduate students are required to give a presentation to the soild science group on their final product/report. Dual listed with SOIL 5565. Prerequisites: basic training in soil science research.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Special topics in soil science. Offered as an individual or small group basis as appropriate. Intended to accommodate various specialized subjects not offered on a regular basis. Students may enroll in more than one section of this course provided topics are different. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the forms and interrelations of matter and energy in the soil environment. Fluxes and transformations of soil water and solutes are addressed primarily, as well as physical properties which influence soil productivity. Dual listed with SOIL 4100. Prerequisite: MATH 2310.
-
2.00 Credits
Students learn 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 conductivity, soil water potential and solute breakthrough curve. Dual listed with SOIL 4105. Prerequisite: AECL 2010.
