| MATHEMATICS I, MATHEMATICS II, PHYSICS I, ECOLOGY. |
| Contents | |
|---|---|
| ECOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS: ATMOSPHERE, HYDROSPHERE AND PEDOSPHERE. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONING OF AGROECOSYSTEMS. URBAN-INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS. THE IMPACT OF ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITIES ON ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. ALTERATIONS OF THE MATTER CYCLE. NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC EUTROPHICATION. GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGES. HOMEOSTASIS OF ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. EFFECTS OF AIR, WATER AND SOIL POLLUTION ON BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES. THE ROLE OF ORGANISMS IN INTEGRATED SYSTEMS OF POLLUTION MONITORING; BIOAVAILABILITY, BIOINDICATION, BIOACCUMULATION AND BIOMAGNIFICATION. PHYTOREMEDIATION. MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION OF ECOSYSTEMS AND BIODIVERSITY. PRACTICAL STUDIES WITH FIELD TRIPS, LABORATORY ACTIVITIES AND GUIDED EXCURSIONS WILL BE PERFORMED. |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| LESSONS (5 ECTS, 40 HOURS), AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES AND EDUCATIONAL EXCURSIONS (1 ECTS, 12 HOURS). THE PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES WILL ALSO POSSIBLY COVER THE BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESEARCH OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE ON THE TREATED TOPICS. |
| Verification of learning | |
