Lehrinhalte/Gliederung
  1. Summarizing information and balancing knowledge distribution about local and global soil functions, global land use challenges, trends in regional soil use, soils as a non-renewable resource, human impact on soil formation processes in different scales of time and space.
  2. Effects of soil formation and degradation processes on social, economic and cultural challenges of long term society development with focus on literature data and up-to-date available information.
  3. Influence of short term soil formation and different soil use premises on ecosystem development opportunities, water supply and live quality.
  4. Distinction of soil features formed during ecosystem succession and by productive and non-productive land use.
  5. Basic skills in soil analyses under laboratory and field condition, in data management and interpretation including results from literature and research
Qualifikationsziele

Understanding of soils as a base of life and a product of complex interactions between geological parent material, climate and biological regulation processes (vegetation and fauna), formed on different scales of time and space during history of earth and under human impact during last millennia.

Ability to empathize into soils as a non-renewable resource with different functions and features distinguishing soils from other carbon containing mineral substrates in the environment.

Knowledge about main challenges, threads and degradation processes of soils in agriculture and forestry, induced by tourism and urban and rural development including an overview about the diversity of approaches to reduce resulting human impact on the environment on global and regional scale.

Global and regional trends in land use research and skills in result interpretation, self-guided reflection and decision processes for setting own priorities.
Sozial- und Selbstkompetenzen

Ability to use skills in natural sciences to answer social development challenges with respect to local culture and land use traditions.
