Learning outcomes
|
Wetlands form a transition between a typically aquatic and terrestrial environment. Wetlands are characterized by a specific water regime with large water level fluctuations and predominant anoxic conditions in the soil. Organisms that occur in wetlands are adapted to these specific conditions physiologically, morphologically and anatomically. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems on the earth's surface and there are a number of species specifically associated with this environment. The student will get acquainted with the overview, importance and management of wetlands in the world.
Students are able to apply an active work approach and are able to independent scientific activities in the field. They are able to use a large amount of relevant data (professional literature, own practical experience in the field, the experience of experts), which are able to analyze, critically evaluate and draw appropriate conclusions. Graduates are able to apply these skills in a creative way within their research activities. Students are well prepared for further independent education and maintaining professional growth in the field. Graduates have a thoroughly mastered ability of analytical and synthetic thinking.
