Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Part 1: Terrestrial ecosystems (VO 2, Fiedler)
The lecture starts with a general account on how to classify terrestrial biota from an ecological point of view. Following the biome-concept of H.Walter the different life zones of the earth are presented: tropical rain forest biome, tropical/subtropical semidry regions, hot desserts, mediterranean life zone, warm temperate life zone, cool temperate life zone, cold desserts and steppes, taiga life zone, tundra and polar desserts. Each biome is presented regarding climate, soils, vegetation, animal life, and land use. Lectures focus on the dominating (zonal) natural ecosystems but consider also azonal ecosystems (e.g. mires, mountains, ecosystems on poor soils), cultivated land and urban ecosystems.
Part 2: Freshwater systems (Battin)
Part 3: Marine systems (Herndl)
