Course description
13th Nordic Soil Zoology Symposium and PhD course
This PhD-course focuses to screening current environmental problems in soils and finding ways to mitigate them. General themes of the symposium include climate warming, chemicalisation of soils, and loss of productive soils. Herein we ask as to how the knowledge gain in basic soil ecology can be utilized to support solution-oriented environmental management. Within the Themes the main Topics are: (i) Soil fauna and ecosystem services, (ii) Biodiversity and function of ecosystems, (iii) Soil ecotoxicology, and (iv) Applied issues in relation to agriculture, forestry and soil conservation. The students will be given tasks to be conducted prior to the course. During the event the students will present their work and participate in discussions
