• Syllabus - SWS 5305C Soil Microbial Ecology

Description

The central objective of this course is to foster the student’s ability to solve problems related to soil microbial ecology. The development of problem-solving skills will require an in-depth understanding of microbial ecology concepts and methodologies for identifying and characterizing soil microbial life.

Course Goals

By the end of the course, the student will be able to:

• Analyze the physiological basis for microbial activities in soil and translate those to ecological interactions and processes.
• Discuss the fundamental physiology and ecology underlying many of the important biogeochemical cycles in soils, including carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur cycles.
• Identify appropriate methods for addressing fundamental questions in soil microbial ecology.
