| Kompetenceområder | |||||||||||||||||
| Basic sciences Comprehend the landscape as a composition of landscape attributes. Understand landscape patterns - i.e origin of landscapes, impact of man on the development of landscapes, impact of natural conditions on the landscape. Applied sciences Ability to synthesise attributes into unique ecotopes, aggregate ecotopes into chores, and segregate landscapes into chores and ecotopes. Transfer the models Island - bio - geography and input-output to concrete landscapes. Comprehend landscape change, detect and describe changes in landscape patterns. Relate landscape changes to specific attributes. Ethics and values Comprehend the concepts of landscape function and multifunctionality; land use related functions, landscape services and transcending functions. Comprehend the linking of structures with fluxes of matter, energy and genetic information. | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||
| The aim of the course is to give the participants a comprehensive overview of the main stream European and American schools of Landscape Ecology. The participants are introduced to general theories, and trained in the most common pratical methods in landscape ecology. | |||||||||||||||||
