. "Biological interactions in soils"@en . . "6" . "Contents:\nThis course deals with interactions between soil organisms and soil in the context of cycles of C, N and P. Important topics of soil fertility and global change will be addressed. Keywords: organic matter decomposition and nutrient mineralization, reactions of plants to excess and deficiency, role of plants, mycorrhizas and soil fauna in C, N and P cycles, soil structure, greenhouse gas emissions. The practical will train basic experimental techniques in soil biology and fertility, experimental design and processing of data. Part of the experiments can be designed by the students so that they complete the whole experimental cycle.\nLearning outcomes:\nAfter successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:\ndemonstrate knowledge of the main interactions in the soil between plants, nutrients and soil biota;\ndemonstrate insight in the effects of human-induced disturbances on these interactions;\ncritically evaluate and discuss conflicting views in the literature on key biotic interactions in the soil;\ndesign, execute and report experiments that quantify interactions between biota and cycles of carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen." . .

"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 . .
