By the end of this course, students will:
• know the most characteristic species of the terrestial ecosystems in Galicia (NW Spain)
• be able to identify the species that characterize these ecosystems.
• understand and assess the importance of these species in the terrestial ecosystems.
• assess the relative importance of the different groups that are part of the study of Botany and its ecological implications.

Guest lessons: the teacher presents concepts and procedures, providing the basic information necessary to understand a theoretical perspective or a practical procedure, promoting the participation of students.
Laboratory sessions/Case study: developed in the field and laboratory, with the objective of observing the physical and biological environment in situ, carrying out experiments and learning how to use or apply computer software, with the support and supervision of teachers.
EVALUATION SYSTEM MINIMUM PERCENTAGE (of the final grade) MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE (of the final grade)
Assessment system based on the individual and group works proposed during the guest lessons, laboratory a sessions and the field trip. Continuous assessment: 100.0% final qualification
