"Soil quality"@en . . "6" . "Contents:\nThe dynamics of nutrients and contaminants within the terrestrial ecosystem including the groundwater and their relationship with soil biota are explained and related to actual environmental issues such as mobility, bioavailability, soil quality assessment, soil remediation, and nature restoration. Soil quality aspects are discussed with a focus on nature, agriculture and the environment. Actual environmental issues regarding nutrients (in surplus as well as limiting supplies) and contaminants are presented and explained. Soil quality standards are discussed in relation to chemical compound behaviour, risk assessment protocols, and fertilizer recommendations. An outline is given of the policy legislation.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:\ndescribe and explain the concept of biological and chemical soil quality and their interrelations;\ndescribe and discuss relevance, advantages and disadvantages of the use of various soil quality indicators;\nevaluate soil quality in the fields of environmental pollution, sustainable agriculture, land use change, and climate change;\nexecute and analyse scientific experiments on contaminant bioavailability;\nreport on experimental results in the framework of soil quality evaluation." . .

"The Environmental Sciences master's programme in Wageningen has its roots in the natural, technological and social sciences. Students will gain insight into the socio-economic causes and the characteristics of pollution and degradation of the natural environment, including the effects on human beings, the atmosphere, ecosystems and other organisms. This two-year programme is based on an interdisciplinary approach. Students learn to develop analytical tools and models, as well as technologies, socio-political arrangements and economic instruments to prevent and control the wicked environmental and sustainability issues like climate change, biodiversity loss and resource depletion."@en . .
