Description

This is the third class in our soil science series, Getting Down to Earth: Understanding Soils for Ecosystem Resilience and Repair. This series of classes will build from the ground up a holistic knowledge of soils that will enable students to understand soil stewardship techniques, from how they work to when to use them.

We will dive into exploring how water enters, moves, and gets stored in soils and the relationship between levels of soil moisture and ecosystem function. Topics will include how topography influences water movement, soil physical and chemical properties control soil water storage, and field methods for assessing soil water holding capacity and drainage. Irrigation tools and best management practices will be reviewed.
