Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Engineering Ecology disseminates till now obtained knowledge (in the bachelor
study). Students must know and understand ecological processes in ecosystems and their components.The study of Ecology will be linked with ecological physiology, evolutionary ecology and biosystematics. Applications and argumentations. Determination of CR flora.
Teaching methods
Lectures
Tutorials
Experimental work in labs
