Understand the size, composition and activity of the soil biological community and its control on plant community assembly and growth.
Understand the roles of different trophic levels of the soil biota and their roles in nutrient cycling and decomposition processes.
Recognize the importance of plant-microbe symbioses and how these can be manipulated.
Know what is required to monitor soil ecological development in context. |
