Course description
Cultural landscapes and most ecosystems are
anthropogenically shaped over time, in an interactive process linking
human
needs with natural resources in a specific topographic and spatial
setting. In
this course we will learn how pattern and processes of landscapes as
well as
ecosystem functions have to be interpreted with an integrative
historic-ecological approach.
