Markens biologi och biogeokemiska kretslopp

Marken spelar en central roll i de globala kretsloppen. Här flödar energi, kol och näringsämnen mellan växter, dött organiskt material, mineraler, vatten och luft. Dessa flöden kontrolleras av markens organismer – bakterier, svampar, djur och växtrötter. Organismerna och deras aktiviteter är av avgörande betydelse inom jord- och skogsbruk, såväl som för vattenkvalitet och biodiversitet. De markbiologiska processerna har till och med en avgörande påverkan på det globala klimatet. I denna kurs lär vi oss om de globala biogeokemiska kretsloppen och om markorganismer och deras roll i dessa processer. Kursen erbjuder inte bara teoretiska koncept via kurslitteratur och föreläsningar, utan också mer handfasta kunskaper utifrån laboratorieövningar, exkursioner, interaktiva diskussioner och projektarbeten kring självvalda ämnen. Tillägnad kunskap kommer att användas inom diskussioner kring hur människan påverkar marken och dess biogeokemiska processer med fokus på markanvändning, miljöproblem och global klimatpåverkan.

Information från kursledaren

Dear all course participants!

On Monday 17th January the course begins with an introductory lecture at 10.15-12. Due to the (still) ongoing Pandemic we have changed all lectures and seminars during the first course week to on-line zoom activities, and depending on the situation we may continue to do so.

Please find the relevant Zoom link below!

The Laboratory Practicals will be on campus, but adapted for maximum safety. The first in-person Practical will be on Wednesday 19/1 at 9.15-12 in the Böl Labs 1+2 at the entrance level in the BioCenter.

We have also postponed the excursion planned for 21/1, but hope to have it in a few weeks instead.

The course schedule has been updated in the PDF.

Looking forward to see you all on zoom at 10.15 on Monday then!

Karina
