Soil science is an interdisciplinary course that explores the physical, chemical, biological, and mineralogical properties of soil and its role in ecosystems. It examines how soils are formed, classified, and mapped, as well as their importance in agriculture, environmental sustainability, and land management. The course covers soil composition, texture, structure, and fertility, along with nutrient cycling and soil-water interactions. It also delves into soil conservation techniques, erosion control, and sustainable soil management practices to maintain productivity and ecological balance. Students learn laboratory and field techniques for soil analysis, including testing for pH, organic matter, and nutrient content. The course integrates principles from geology, chemistry, biology, and environmental science to provide a comprehensive understanding of soil as a natural resource essential for food production, biodiversity, and climate regulation. Practical applications include soil management strategies for farming, forestry, construction, and environmental protection, preparing students for careers in agriculture, environmental science, land reclamation, and natural resource management.
