Objectives and competences

Students: -are introduced with general points of view of disccussion of polluted environment, - within general system theory students are able to consider pollution of the environment and landscape units as well, - discuss about the impacts of the anthropogenic activities on the biogeochemical circles of mass and energy, - are introduced with methodology of analysis of the environment degradation.

Content (Syllabus outline)

1. Depletion of natural sources: reversible and unreversible processes, entropy and environment degradation; use of renewable and unrenewable sources. 2. Natural and artificial biogeochemical mass and energy circulation; natural and artificial ecosystems, consequences of the anthropogenic impacts on biogeochemical mass and energy circukation. 3. Pollution of natural components: air, water, vegetation, soil, other components. 4. Environment pollution on the global level and local level. Environment pollution in Slovenia.

Learning and teaching methods

- lectures, - seminary work, - field work.

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

Students are able to: - understand general principles of ecosystems functioning, - estimate self-protective capacity of the concrete landscape, - analize impact of the human activities on the ecosystems.

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes

Students are able to: - estimate the degradation level as an outcome of different anthropogenic impact, - estimate self-protective capacity of landscape, considering it's physical geographical characteristics.
