Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of the module is to familiarize the student with the causes, manifestations, and effects of synatropization of vegetation and fauna, as well as with the ways of its identification and assessment at different scales: regional and local. The student learns (and discusses) the mechanisms and consequences of human influence on vegetation and diversity of fauna, and assimilates natural terms and classifications used in research on the synanthropization of vegetation and fauna. The student independently identifies environmental problems and discusses and proposes possible solutions.
