Course Descriptions

This course emphasises biological functioning at the levels of population, community, and ecosystem, and is organised around the principles of energy flow, nutrient cycles, and succession. Human interventions such as urbanisation, harvesting renewable and non-renewable resources, and pollution generation are considered in relation to natural limits, natural regulations and regeneration mechanisms, and long-term ecosystem stability. Students will be able to gain the knowledge of basic ecological principles, including species interactions, energy flow, nutrient cycles and succession, and habitats and ecosystems of the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong.
