The course will be focused on biogeochemical cycles of elements essential for terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems influenced by human activity (S, N, P, C, Ca, Mg, K, Al, H, Cl, trace elements and heavy metals). The main focus will be on acidification and element surplus or deficiency. Their sources, sinks, and transformations in soils, groundwaters and surface waters, as well as physiological importance for biota will be discussed. Also to be covered are historical trends of element emissions, deposition, present situation and predictions for the future. Part of the course will be focused on methods of cycle measurements, analytical techniques, and also on the calibration and use of biogeochemical models (MAGIC and SAFE). The influence of global changes on biogeochemical cycles will be also discussed.
