This course covers general principles in terrestrial ecology leading to an understanding of processes that govern the interactions between humans and terrestrial ecosystems such as wetlands and rainforests. A detailed study of terrestrial ecosystems is undertaken in order to understand issues affecting terrestrial ecosystems such as those created by our social and economic systems with the aim of discussing possible solutions. Analysis of current land use legislation as well as anthropogenic impacts associated with agriculture, aquaculture, urbanization, forestry, tourism and industry is undertaken. Knowledge, practical and analytical skills are developed through assessment and monitoring of terrestrial ecosystems and interpretation of data and analysis of tables, charts and graphs relating to emerging issues such as desertification.
