This class will provide an overview
of natural soil development processes, providing a baseline for understanding
soil hydrology and nutrient cycling. Participants will learn how to assess
soil quality in the field and through lab work, and will review how soil
hydrology works at a micro and macro-scale essential to understanding when
and how to irrigate, and how to optimize soil moisture holding capacity and
critical drainage function. Learn to improve site restoration prospects by
understanding a local soil’s more limiting characteristics, and to optimize
management decisions by understanding that one size does not fit all when it
comes to growing plants and creating habitat in disturbed or impacted sites.
