概述模块描述:
This module provides an understanding of the major groups of microorganisms in soils, their adaptation to soil environments, and their impact on the wider environment. Emphasis is placed on the role of soil microorganisms in global cycling of C, N, P and S and in the degradation and transformation of natural and anthropogenic chemicals in the environment (biogeochemical processes). 该课程还为学生提供了管理土壤微生物对环境可持续性的好处的例子。 相关的实践工作为学生提供了测量、分离和测试土壤微生物实例以及量化微生物介导过程的实践经验。
目的:
本模块旨在让学生了解土壤中主要的微生物群,它们对土壤环境的适应,以及它们对更广泛环境的影响。 Emphasis will be placed on the role of soil microorganisms in global cycling of C, N, P and S and in the degradation of natural and anthropogenic chemicals in the environment (biogeochemical processes). 本课程还将为学生提供管理土壤微生物对生物修复、促进植物生长和环境可持续性的好处的例子。 相关的实践工作将为学生提供测量、分离和测试土壤微生物样本以及量化一些微生物介导过程的实践经验。
可评估的学习成果:
By the end of the module it is expected that the student will be able to: - describe and explain the biochemical basis of the global cycling of C, N, P and S and the degradation of selected organic contaminants, - describe the microorganisms responsible for the major biogeochemical processes in soil, - carry out laboratory investigations to: (i) isolate and enumerate soil organisms; (ii) quantify microbially-mediated soil processes and, to synthesize their findings in the form of a scien tific report. -描述土壤微生物管理在生物修复、促进植物生长和环境可持续性方面的潜力和局限性。
额外的结果:
-学生将获得微生物学实际工作的一般经验,包括无菌技术和健康安全问题的考虑。
-提高学生的资讯科技技能,特别是处理数据(电子表格)、统计分析和使用电脑软件包以图形形式表示数据。
-学生将全面了解陆地生态系统中心的土壤微生物功能,并熟悉这一热门领域的新术语和概念。
