Subject Description

This subject will focus on the fundamental processes in landscape evolution and ecosystem development. It will demonstrate how science can be applied to managing natural ecosystems, and to maintaining and improving the productivity of land resource based-industries through the development of environmentally sustainable practices. On completion of this subject, students will be able to apply the principles developed in relation to major land uses in Victoria and other regions of Australia. They will also understand the application of various important practices in the management of ecosystems at different scales, and the adverse impacts of mismanagement of such systems.

Assessment
