Cultural Phenology: Human Influences on Natural Cycles

This exam examines cultural phenology, focusing on how human activities influence natural biological cycles. Key concepts include agricultural impacts, urbanization, and cultural practices surrounding seasonal events.

Recognizing the intersection between human behavior and phenological shifts is crucial for sustainable management practices. These insights help address issues related to resource use and ecological preservation.

Students will articulate the connections between human behavior and phenological events, demonstrating an understanding of both historical and empirical data.

As part of their preparation, students should be ready to discuss specific cultural practices that impact phenological timing and how these practices can be integrated into ecological management.
