教学目标 Course Objectives

This course provides a broad overview of the interdisciplinary topic of ecological reclamation of organic wastes and

degraded habitats. It explores how ecological reclamation techniques can be used to convert different organic wastes

into valuable products; decontaminate and restore different contaminated/disturbed habitats, including soil and water.

The first part is related to degradation of natural resources due to human activities, and the impacts on the environment

and human health, with emphasis on major food contaminants. The second part reviews the basic principles of ecological

restoration, and techniques commonly employed for ecological survey, restoration and toxicity analyses. The third part

examines various techniques, through the use of various microbes, for converting different organic wastes into food,

fertilizer, feed and fuel. The recent advances on turning organic waste into biochar is also included. The fourth part

describes the common reclamation methods adopted for restoring man-made and contaminated habitats. The basic

principles of soil science and the important components (i.e. plants, microbes and organic matter) for successful

ecological restoration are presented. Case studies related to bioremediation and phytoremediation of contaminated soil

and water are provided. Revegetation and stabilization of completed landfills and slopes are also illustrated. Finally, the

fifth part is the conclusion on future prospects related to ecological sustainability.

预达学习成果 Learning Outcomes

Students will be introduced to the rapidly expanding discipline of recycling of organic wastes and restoring degraded

ecosystems; through lectures, short videos, field survey, group discussion, individual presentations and reflective

essays. It is hoped that the students can apply theory learnt to the implementation of waste treatment and recycling, and

habitat decontamination and restoration.
