Learning Outcomes
- communicate, in writing or verbally, an understanding of basic soil physical properties and processes related to water, gas, solute, and heat transport.
- measure, calculate, and interpret soil physical processes using laboratory and field techniques, including texture, soil water retention, infiltration, and evaporation.
- communicate, in writing or verbally, the ways that disturbances impact soil physical properties, and how these disturbances affect natural resources.
- compare and contrast how changes in soil physical properties change as a result of soil morphological properties, such as horizons and orders.
