The advanced soil minerals course describes the different types of clay minerals, their crystalline and atomic systems, in different geographical environments. This course focuses on the dominant types of clay minerals in Libyan soils. The student also understands how to use X-rays, infrared rays, and thermal analysis in the study of different clay minerals.

Advanced Plant Nutrition course aims to understand the difference between the meaning of soil fertility and plant nutrition. As well as understand the difference between essential and non-essential plant nutrients and their impact on the plant. Also in this course, will understand the movement of nutrients within the plant and the mechanisms of their absorption. In addition, the understanding of toxic effects of some elements on the plant will be covered.

The advanced soil and water conservation course describes the importance of preserving natural resources for sustainable development. This course is concerned with identifying soil problems such as water erosion, wind erosion, and others. This course explains the ways and means of protecting the soil from erosion, and also explains the laboratory and field methods for conducting scientific research in the field of water erosion and wind erosion.

The soil biochemistry course integrates knowledge of soil, biochemistry and the environment. The course deals with the life processes activities of living organisms in soil especially microorganisms and plants. In addition, the study of soil organic matter, its origin and biochemical reactivities, are also included. In this course the important steps in elemental cycles and their effect on soil chemical and physical processes. the course is concerned with what the microbes are doing in soil than with precisely what they are in respect to size and shape or the ingredients of taxonomic schemes. In this context, the course is concerning soil organic matter, reactions of the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycles, inorganic biochemistry of soils, and the biochemistry of the plant-root rhizosphere. Specific topics are covered which are considered most important for a student of soil biochemistry to become familiar. The degradation of xenobiotics in soil investigate the relationship between the structure of a chemical and its degradation in soil and some of the ecological aspects of applying xenobiotics to soil. The production of biologically active compounds in soil such as plant hormones, allelopathic compounds, and antibiotics. The activity and survival of these compounds greatly influences the overall biochemistry of the soil. The fate of genetic material will address the sources and fate of nucleic acids in soil. Techniques to extract and probe soil DNA and RNA will be introduced. The course will focus on the rhizosphere and its influence in augmenting many important biochemical reactions as well as controlling the immediate environment in which a plant grows. Although directed primarily to the students of soil science and students of biochemistry, microbiology, forestry, horticulture, agronomy, plant pathology, organic geochemistry, and environmental science, this course may benefit others dealing with biochemical processes in soil.

In the agricultural environmental pollution course, the causes and effects of environmental pollution that result from modern agricultural practices are studied. Where this pollution leads to the deterioration of the ecosystem and the land. The agricultural pollution process stems from the many stages it goes through. The student will be introduced to the agricultural environment as part of the biosystem, and to assess the environmental impact caused by agricultural activity, the concept of sustainability and its relationship to overcoming pollution of the agricultural environment.

This course deals with the diversity of bacteria in the soil environment and the physiological variation of soil bacteria in terms of metabolism, acquisition of energy and resources, growth and reproduction. It also deals with evolution in the context of microbial ecology and in the soil environment as a medium for microbial growth and stress tolerance, also the living of microbes in harsh environments and interactions between different microbes in the soil and microbial interactions with other organisms and sending signals between soil organisms. As well as, the role that different types of bacteria play in biogeochemical cycles and the response of soil bacteria to disturbance. The course also covers some important environmental phenomena that affect or are affected by other environments outside the soil environment, such as the impact of climate change on processes mediated by soil bacteria, applications of soil microbiome ecology and its relationship to the human microbiome, and modeling of microbial processes.
