Geologisch-bodenkundliche Grundlagen werden vermittelt. Dabei werden bodenbildende Ausgangsgesteine, Faktoren und Prozesse der Bodenbildung und Grundlagen der Bodenchemie, Bodenphysik und Bodenbiologie ebenso wie die Herausbildung von Bodentypen und deren Eigenschaften, Nutzung und Schutz behandelt. Gleichzeitig sollen in der Übung praktische Erfahrungen mit der Einordnung und Analyse von Bodentypen und deren Umwelteigenschaften gewonnen werden.

This module deals with the basic principles of soil science. Topics include: soil-forming parent material; the factors and processes of soil formation; basic soil chemistry, physics and biology; and the formation and properties of different soil types, soil use and soil protection. Concurrently, the exercise aims at gaining experience in the classification and analysis of soil types and their environmental properties.

Grundlegende und anwendungsbezogene Kenntnisse über Bodenentstehung, Eigenschaften, Nutzung, Erhaltung und Bodenschutz sollen erworben werden.
Basic and applied knowledge of soil formation, properties, use and conservation as well as on soil protection will be gained.

Please do not apply for this course if you have already attended it within the Minor Spatial Sciences!
