General description	"To provide the student the knowledge of what natural systems are like and how they function. Ecological factors affecting ecosystems. Population dynamics. The main types of interspecific relations: competition and depredation. The community, ecosystem structure and functioning, as well as man-biosphere interaction are studied. Introduction to ecology. General principles on ecosystems. The physical environment. Concept of ecological factor. Solar radiation. Temperature. Humidity. Fire. Atmospheric medium. Aquatic medium. Edaphic medium. Population dynamics. Concept of population. Sampling. Demography. Fluctuations and rhythms. Non-specific relations: types. Concept of ecological niche. Competition. Depredation. Other types of relation and applications of population dynamics. Communities and ecosystems: concept. Diversity and stability. Trophic ecology. Biogeochemical cycles and ecological succession.
