Nutrient cycling and problem solving: a simple teaching model |
| |
Abstract: | Abstract A compartment model to assist the teaching of nutrient cycling is described. The model makes use of a type of microcomputer now widely available. Examples of the exercises carried out in conjunction with the model are discussed. The exercises are designed to develop a more critical awareness of the literature dealing with nutrient cycling in ecosystems and a deeper understanding of the scientific method. |
