Competencies and objectives
Course context for academic year 2016-17
En esta asignatura se establecerán los fundamentos teóricos que explican los condicionantes
de la vida en medios terrestres y acuáticos, las adaptaciones de los organismos a
sus características, así como el funcionamiento de los ecosistemas.
Se aborda el estudio de la estructura de los ecosistemas y cómo ésta varía en el espacio y
en el tiempo. Se estudia la transferencia de materia y energía en el ecosistema y niveles
superiores de organización. Finalmente se analizan los efectos de la acción del hombre en
el ambiente, discutiendo posibles estrategias para buscar la explotación sostenible de los ecosistemas.
Estos conceptos teóricos serán ilustrados con estudios de casos prácticos y temas de actualidad.
Estos conocimientos suponen la base de disciplinas profesionales, tales como la conservación del
territorio, restauración de ecosistemas, selvicultura, gestión de espacios naturales,
evaluación de impacto ambiental, etc.
