Full Description
The focus of this exam is the theoretical foundations of microbial ecology within aquatic systems. It details the interactions among microorganisms and their aquatic environments.
Aquatic ecosystems serve as critical habitats for diverse microbial communities, influencing overall ecosystem health. A robust understanding of these dynamics is vital for freshwater and marine conservation strategies.
Students will be tested on their verbal articulations of key processes such as primary production, nutrient cycling, and microbial interactions in aquatic contexts and will assess the implications of anthropogenic influences.
Emphasis will be placed on theoretical models and empirical studies that describe the role of marine and freshwater microorganisms in ecosystem services.
Sample Questions
- What role do microorganisms play in aquatic nutrient cycling?
- How do anthropogenic activities impact microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems?
