16.7 3rd year. Dr N Enright and Dr B Downes. 121-213/313 Plants, People and Environment, or permission of the subject co-ordinator. Second semester Two 1-hour lectures and one 1-hour seminar per week. Students who complete this subject should be able to:

• understand the major concepts of the species, succession, climax and diversity, as they apply to plant and animal communities;
• understand the major role which natural disturbance, on different spatial and temporal scales, plays in the dynamic behaviour of communities and populations;
• understand the concepts, aims and developing methodologies associated with the emerging fields of landscape ecology and restoration ecology.

Concepts in plant and animal biogeography; island biogeography; succession theory; diversity theory; natural disturbance regimes and the dynamics of communities and populations. Applications to: island floras and faunas; nature reserves; fire ecology and management; forest ecosystems. Anthropogenic disturbance; landscape ecology; restoration ecology. Written work equivalent to 3,000 words (40 per cent); seminars (10 per cent); a final two hour exam (50 per cent). Students taking this subject should consider also taking 121-341 Techniques in Ecological Biogeography. Students cannot receive credit for both this subject and Faculty of Science subject 121-306 Ecological Biogeography A or 121-339 Ecological Biogeography B. 16.7 3rd year.
