Ecosystem structure and function

The aim of this module is to acquire basic knowledge of ecology through the study of the structure and functioning of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This knowledge is necessary for defining natural habitats, characterizing impacts and environmental management.
Minimum skills to be acquired: Basic ecology of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Basic skills in characterizing environmental impacts on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

evolution and adaptations of living beings to their environment at different scales of life organization: population genetics, ecophysiology, population dynamics, biotic interactions between several species. Characterization of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems: biogeography and ecological successions, regional forest and coastal ecosystems.
