EESC 7680G Soils in the Landscape
37.5 hours lecture; 15 hours lab; 3 credits
Knowledge about soils is useful in many areas; agriculture, land use planning, environmental quality, landscape architecture. Soil properties and management are important for the growth of plants, the fate and transport of pollutants, and land use planning. Soils are arranged in coherent, predictable patterns across the landscape, with relatively predictable properties. Soils can thus be studied using a "systems" or ?landscape? approach such that one can reason, given a limited amount of information or field observation, the properties of a particular soil and make predictions and recommendations about its behavior in different situations. In this class, students will learn to "think" about soils so that they can apply soils information to real problems.
