Skrócony opis: |
The course will deepen the student’s knowledge on how plants and other terrestrial organisms take part in the nutrient-, carbon-, water- and energy cycles in both managed and natural terrestrial ecosystems. Maintaining these processes is an essential part of any sustainable ecosystem management plan. Real examples (case-studies) will be taken from recent research on various natural and managed ecosystems to show the students how such knowledge is obtained. |
