Description
This course is intended to provide students with training in laboratory analysis of selected physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils, with emphasis on those analyses used in basic site characterization and soil health assessments. Topics to be covered include sample handling and preparation, good laboratory practices, appropriate QA/QC for the methods used, and interpretation of the data resulting from the various analyses. Laboratory techniques will be covered through a series of modules. The samples to be analyzed include soils collected in SLSC 825.3 – Field Studies and Research Design of Saskatchewan Soil Landscapes. The course will culminate in a final report that synthesizes all of the results and interprets them in the context of the physical environment from which they were collected.
Prerequisite(s): Students must complete SLSC 825.3 – Field Studies and Research Design of Saskatchewan Soil Landscapes prior to registering in SLSC 826.3.
Note: Students with credit for 835.2 cannot receive credit for SLSC 826.3.
