DESCRIPTION
In this subject, the theoretical foundations that explain the determinants of life in terrestrial and aquatic environments, the adaptations of organisms to their characteristics, as well, as the functioning of ecosystems, will be established. This subject addresses the study of the structure of ecosystems and how they vary in space and time. It studies the transfer of matter and energy in the ecosystem as well as at higher levels of organization. Finally, the effects of humans in the environment are analyzed, discussing possible strategies to seek the sustainable exploitation of ecosystems. These theoretical concepts will be illustrated with case studies and current topics. This knowledge constitutes the basis of professional disciplines, such as land conservation, restoration of ecosystems, forestry, management of natural areas, environmental impact assessment, etc.
Course will consist of 60hrs of in class work and 90 hrs of independent work outside the classroom.
