Autumn/Spring semester
Wetland types: marine and continental. Marine: coastal, mangrove, coral reefs and estaurine. Continental: rivers and lakes, fluvial landscape, floodplanes. Ecological importance of natural and semi-natural wetland: great species density, huge biodiversity, mosaic-like landscape structure and intensive biomass productivity.
Environmental importance of wetlands: diffuse pollution control by wetlands. Wetlands as water “living filters”. Transforming useless swamps into valuable wetlands. Watershed: implications for the biodiversity. The role of harvest and plant decomposition in constructed wetlands. Phytoremediation processes for water and air pollution control in the aspects of nutrient and carbon dioxide removals. Phytoplankton biomass regulation in contrasting environmental states of temporary pools. Agricultural wetlands.
