A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Man’s impact on vegetation

The core of this topic is understanding how human activities alter vegetation cover and composition. Mastering the definitions of deforestation, degradation, and land‑use change, and recognising the ecological consequences of agriculture, urbanisation, fire and invasive species, is essential for the NUC CCMAS/ NBTE/ NCCE exams.
