Within the lecture the following aspects of soil physics will be taught:
1. Introduction
2. Soil as a three-phase system
3. Heat exchange
4. Soil heat exchange
5. Soil air
6. Soil water
7. The soil - water - plant - atmosphere system

- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
The aim of the lecture and the exercises are to provide students with a basic understanding of theoretical, experimental and applied soil physics. Using the various methods taught, the students should be able to describe and explain physical soil conditions and their respective changes.
This includes:
1. Interpretaion of empirical values
2. Numerical description
3. Measurements
