Učební cíle

The students know and understand the soil chemical processes and their relevance for soil quality, soil development, as well as for the transport, bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants. The knowledge of instrumental analysis is deepened. The students are able to plan and perform a soil chemical analysis (nutrients, soil parameters and contaminants) and to evaluate and judge the analysis result in the ecological context as well as in the context of current environmental laws.
