Integration of Biodiversity Concepts in Urban Ecosystems

This exam focuses on the theoretical frameworks of biodiversity within urban landscapes. Candidates will discuss how urbanization affects the distribution and abundance of various species, emphasizing the importance of maintaining biodiversity in cities.

Understanding biodiversity in urban areas is critical for sustainable city planning and ecosystem health. As urban populations increase, the implications of biodiversity loss become more significant, affecting ecosystem services vital for urban residents.

The exam will assess candidates' verbal articulation of concepts such as species richness, urban habitat fragmentation, and the ecological roles of urban flora and fauna. Clear communication of these principles is essential.

Candidates may also address case studies highlighting successful strategies for conserving biodiversity in urban settings during the verbal assessment.
