Themes The content of this course is a logical continuation of the course : Introduction to Earth Science , Introduction to engineering the biosphere phenomena transfers, and integrated mathematics and computer exercises . Based on these achievements, the following are explored: 1. Exchanges of heat and mass in the lower layers of the atmosphere inside the plant communities and in the upper soil layers : natural radiation, interaction of electromagnetic radiation with plants, conduction and convection, humidity, precipitation, flow of water in the soil- plant-atmosphere , potential and actual evapotranspiration. 2 . Formation mechanisms climates structure of the atmosphere, vertical profiles in the lower layers , lateral movements , atmospheric circulation , clouds and precipitation , greenhouse effects of landscape features , dynamic and thermal action terrain and vegetation . 3 . Influence of human activities on climate and impacts of global climate change on agriculture. 4 . Agroclimatology : collection, organization , processing and analysis of agroclimatic data (networks) . Measurement of climatic factors (temperature, humidity, rainfall , wind speed and direction , the radiation balance components ) and description of the main instruments for measuring these factors. 5 . Ecosystem functioning : physical and biological determinants factors , material flow and energy cycles , balance, productivity , resilience, notions of scale observation
