Course content
|
Soil fauna and flora and its effects in the soil environment. Breakdown of soil organisms by size and representatives of the main groups of soil organisms. Conditions of existence and development of edaphon, abiotic and biotic factors influencing their development and state of populations. Influence of edaphon on the transformation of soil organic matter, nutrient cycle, physical properties of soil and soil fertility. Influence of edaphon on nutrient accessibility, nutrient transport in the soil environment and in the soil - plant system. Emphasis will be placed on new findings from the scientific literature for the soils of the Central European region and with regard to the topic of doctoral studies.
