Stockbridge Sch of Agriculture 490S - Soil Ecology

Biological processes found in the soil are essential to life on Earth. This course will introduce students to soils as their own ecosystem. Throughout the course, we will weave together descriptions of the diversity of life found within soils, plant-soil interactions and biogeography to paint a mosaic of soil life, its complexity and global importance. The final portion of the course will address the global challenges facing soil ecosystems and the potential of the soil health movement.

STOCKSCH 105 or ENVIRSCI 364 This course will have three field trips which will occur during our regular scheduled lecture time.
