Soil Biogeochemistry

Catalog description

Description: Foundational and emerging concepts in soil biogeochemistry with an emphasis on transformation and fates of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus from molecular to global scales. Discussions are focused on molecular-scale processes occurring at the interface between mineral surfaces, microbes, and plants all the way to the controls on nutrient storage and cycling at the ecosystem-scale. Student-led discussions on peer-reviewed literature and exploration of key topics in soil biogeochemistry.
