This unit introduces the core concepts of soil science using a Tasmanian landscape lens. Students will develop the tools to advocate for the importance of soil to a range of stakeholders to sustainably feed the world. This unit integrates background knowledge from chemistry, physics, geography, agriculture, and environmental sciences into soil science and landscape systems. It requires students...

This unit aims to develop your understanding of key physical and chemical properties and processes of soils and how these attributes relate to and inform land use and management. This unit will develop your ability to critically analyse soil data and published research in soil science and is taught in two sections; (i) Soil Chemistry - which focuses on weathering and clay formation, clay chemistry...

Provides Master of Applied Science students with knowledge of soil science. The unit provides knowledge of the formation of key Tasmanian soil types, their parent materials and their land use potential. Soil fertility and key nutrient cycles (N, P and K), soil morphology and salinity will be examined in lectures, practicals and in the field. The practical component provides students with skills...
