General description
Since the Industrial Revolution and with greater intensity since the mid-twentieth century, our planet is experiencing a set of global environmental changes that derive from the exponential increase of the human population and, consequently, the rate of resource utilization. Human activities involve profound transformations in the use of the land, global biogeochemical cycles, the abundance and distribution of species, and the structure and functioning of ecosystems. In this course, students are expected to know the scales and components involved in global change, understand its main effects on terrestrial ecosystems, and become familiar with the main international programs that study this discipline.
