Learning Outcomes
- communicate, in writing or verbally, an understanding of important forest and range soil properties and processes relating to the biology, physics, and chemistry of soils.
- identify and characterize forest and range soils in the field.
- demonstrate, in writing, an understanding of plant-soil feedbacks, above-ground and below-ground interactions, and the relationship between forest and range management and soils.
- communicate, in writing or verbally, the ways that disturbances, including human-induced global change, impact forest and range soils as a natural resource.
