Learning objectives
The ecology course composes of two modules (clic the links above).
Module 1, Ecology. It aims at providing the basic knowledge on concepts and theories of modern ecology and their evolution in the last century. The main focus is on how ecological components and processes are suitable for analysing and managing environmental issues, nature and natural resource conservation.
Module 2, Analysis of ecological systems. It aims at providing ecological skills for analysing environmental issues. This module is focussed on two study cases, which students have to handle by answering four main questions: 1) what do we have to analyse; 2) which methods are suitable for analysis; 3) How data have to be processed and presented; 4) What are the main environmental application of the study findings.
