报告摘要:
Ecology,the studies on the interaction of organism with their environment, becomes more and more important for conservation of nature and the wellbeing of human societies.Loss of biodiversity and degradation of natural environment, the impact of climate change and impact of environmental degradation are among the major causes of many problems troubling human societies. Such problems are ecological in nature. Restoration of degraded ecosystems has become an important task to reverse human impact on nature. As Edward Wilson, a prominent ecologist predicted: “The next century will, I believe, be the era of restoration in ecology". Ecosystem restoration require sound knowledge on ecological theories and often require multi-disciplinary approach. In this course we will give an overview of terrestrial ecology, its advances, and application to restoration ecology using examples from New Zealand and overseas. I will also share the techniques of scientific writing targeting journals of high impact.
