Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful mastering of scientific-theoretical and practical material of academic disciplines taught to students of educational level "Bachelor" and special disciplines, such as "Methods of zoological research", "Carcinology", "Protozoology", "General entomology", "Fundamentals of classification and nomenclature of animals" and others. 2. Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of zoology, ecology, human and animal physiology, microbiology, botany, etc. 3. Knowledge of the basic principles of basic biological methods.
Course content
The discipline "Soil Zoology" is a component of the educational program of professional training of specialists of the educational level "Master". The relevance of studying this discipline of free choice of students is determined by the need and importance of understanding the functional role of individual systematic groups of animals and their groups in soil formation processes, maintaining and improving soil fertility, soil self-cleaning processes. This allows the use of different groups of animals in methods of biological indication of soil conditions.
