The aim of the course is to provide students with an adequate mastership of general scientific principles and methods as well as the acquisition of some specific professional knowledge.
The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge on the chemical, physical and biochemical processes functioning within soil systems particularly focusing on the chemical composition and fertility of soil materials. The student is thus expected to be able to define the chemical factors influencing the fate of elements (contaminant and nutrient) within soils and the soil-plant-system. In particular, based on chemical and physical characteristics of soils, the student is expected to evaluate its fertility and interpret the data.
