Description
This course explores how plants alter the soil in which they grow and the consequences of those changes for future plant survival and growth (plant-soil feedbacks). This is an advanced course targeted at graduate students working on related issues or with an interest in the subject. Through this course, students will explore the different mechanisms leading to plant-soil feedbacks, how these mechanisms interact and are mediated by external factors, and the consequences of plant-soil feedbacks in both agricultural and natural systems. Precise topics will be determined based on student interests, with students expected to lead both lectures and discussion of relevant literature.
Restriction(s): Only open to students in a graduate program.
