Research

Major Responsibilities/Research Interests: Forest soil processes, soil microbial ecology, carbon sequestration, application of N-15 tracer in forest soils research, forest fertilization, tree nutrition, forest ecophysiology, and silviculture-soil management interactions.

Courses

REN R 314 - Forest Soils

Chemical, physical, and biological properties and processes of soil in relation to site and the growth of forest vegetation; nutrient cycling; influences of surface soil erosion, fertilization, and fire upon forest soil productivity: forest land classification. Prerequisite: REN R 210.


REN R 446 - Climates and Ecosystems

The basic principles by which the cycles of water, carbon, and nutrients through soils, plants, and the atmosphere are controlled in terrestrial ecosystems under different climates. Interrelationships among water, carbon and nutrient cycles in natural and managed ecosystems that have developed in different climatic zones. Environmental consequences of human intervention in the cycles for food and fibre production in different ecosystems. Prerequisite: REN R 210. REN R 121, PL SC 221 or BOT 340 recommended. Normally offered in alternate years.


REN R 546 - Climates and Ecosystems

The basic principles by which the cycles of water, carbon, and nutrients through soils, plants, and the atmosphere are controlled in terrestrial ecosystems under different climates. Interrelationships among water, carbon and nutrient cycles in natural and managed ecosystems that have developed in different climatic zones. Environmental consequences of human intervention in the cycles for food and fibre production in different ecosystems. Not to be taken if credit received for REN R 446 or 746. Normally offered in alternate years.


REN R 749 - Forest Soils

Chemical, physical, and biological properties and processes of soil in relation to site and the growth of forest vegetation; nutrient cycling; influences of surface soil erosion, fertilization, and fire upon forest soil productivity: forest land classification. Not to be taken if credit received for REN R 314.
