About the course
The course deals with aquatic ecosystems, with a special focus on lakes.
Besides providing knowledge about the ecological processes, the course gives knowledge about quantitatively important organisms as well as character species in different types of aquatic systems. All major organism groups, from bacteria to fish are discussed. The course also comprises abiotic factors such as water physics and chemistry with a connection to water quality assessment. Global cycles of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, and their connection to environmental issues such as climate and eutrophication are discussed.
The course contains a number of practical exercises in the field, lab and with computers and is finalised by a field course at Lake Erken, 80 km east of Uppsala.
