Lernziele
On successful completion of the module, students are able to:
1. conceptually understand urban ecosystem dynamics, specifically the changes and the processes that underly ecosystem dynamics;
2. critically analyze the effects of environmental disturbances on urban ecosystem energy and nutrient flows, biodiversity, regeneration processes and the potential to deliver ecosystem services;
3. apply methods in the field and lab to measure and evaluate processes within terrestrial and aquatic urban systems, but also within social systems to analyze human perceptions and values underlying cultural services;
4. communicate critical insights into the potential consequences of ecological engineering strategies applied to managing different urban ecosystems and landscapes;
5. develop a research proposal to investigate novel questions in urban ecology and urban planning.

Beschreibung
Urban areas are major drivers of global environmental change, habitat degradation, changes in biodiversity, and the loss of vegetation biomass. These and many other factors emphasize the necessity to understand and examine how urbanization affects the interactions between humans, greenspaces, wildlife and the built environment. Furthermore, it opens questions around the possibilities for urban habitats and landscapes to support the enhancement of biodiversity, energy conservation, food security, public health and well-being.
This module explores the ecology and planning of urban areas and landscapes. We will discuss advanced concepts in urban ecology including: altered dispersal and colonization dynamics of urban plant and animal communities; effects of environmental stressors on plant and animal traits and their interactions; soil and substrate heterogeneity in community dynamics, ecosystem structure and function; water and energy flows in urban food production; changes in cultural ecosystem services and human values; and the spatial analysis of dynamic urban land use. The students will utilize methodological approaches in urban ecology research including collecting and analyzing biodiversity data, structure and functions of greenspaces data, analyzing remotely sensed spatial data, and harnessing citizen science and social media data.
We will emphasize the importance of understanding and analyzing how dynamic ecological and social forces shape urban ecosystems and the provision of ecosystem services. The module will benefit students interested in urban ecology and conservation science, and those interested in urban planning and urban environmental management.

Inhaltliche Voraussetzungen
Basic knowledge in ecology and landscape ecology; beneficial to have completed the module(s) “Urban Ecology” WZ6407.
Lehr- und Lernmethoden
The interactive module comprises a seminar (S) and an exercise (UE) to best combine lectures, case study analyses, group discussions, and presentations from guests and peers. The seminars will cover advanced concepts in lecture PowerPoint presentations but also through paper discussions and group work (3-5 students) on a range of topics (see above). Paired with a weekly topic, the exercises cover research methods that are based in experiential learning with foreseen excursions to field sites in Munich as well as laboratory work at TUM-WZW. Through field excursions and lab practical work, students will collect and analyze data to gain important methodological skills in conducting urban ecosystem and planning research.
