The study of "Fundamentals of Modern Ecology" allows the student to identify many topics related to the specialization of the environment and its management of issues, as it includes a group of lecturesThe student gets acquainted with the science of ecology: its concept, what he studies, its importance at the present time and its relationship to other sciences. He will know the reason for caring about the environment and the necessity of preserving it, and he will know well the meaning, concept, components, and divisions of the environment. And learn about the environment of groups, what is meant by it, its concept, and the role of life indicators, such as births, deaths and migration,.The student will learn about the biosphere, the "life environment", its living and non-living components, bio-geochemical cycles, natural, permanent, renewable and non-renewable environmental resources, environmental factors and laws, man and the environment, and the sustainability of natural resources. The student will learn about the ecosystem, the biological composition of natural ecosystems and how to study natural ecosystems. He will also learn about environmental succession, its importance, and its evolution. And on the environmental factors, and their living and non-living divisions, including: heat, light, water, soil and its components, in addition to the determining factors, the natural balance, the laws of the environment, the balance of the ecosystem and its imbalance and the Islamic view of the environment and after all this, our students will learn about the most prominent current environmental problems and their damage Such as environmental pollution and negative phenomena such as global warming, desertification, acid rain and the ozone hole, the economic costs of pollution, appropriate solutions to environmental problems and how to reduce them, the relationship between development and the environment, the importance of caring for the environment and the need to preserve and protect it.
