Population dynamics (growth models and reproductive strategies). Ecological successions. Area of species, endemic and cosmopolitan distribution of species. Autochthonous and allochthonous species. Extinction. Biogeochemical cycles. Pollution, bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Effects of pollution on cultural heritage assets. Biodeterioration and the most relevant organisms involved in the process. Physical and chemical mechanisms of biodeterioration. Effects of biodeterioration. Sustainable development and renewable resources. Biodiversity and species preservation. United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List.

Didactic methods
- The course will be delivered by lectures, simultaneously connected by auditory and visual media to out-of-class students.

The Power Point presentation (in Italian) will be based on a scientific paper published in English and chosen by the student according to the course program. A maximum of 4 points will be assigned to the Power Point presentation.
The oral examination will be composed of six questions, with a maximum of 4.5 points assigned to each answer. The maximum score that can be obtained in the test (the Power Point presentation followed by the oral examnation) is 31 points, corresponding to 30/thirties magna cum laude.
If the student chooses to take a written examination after the Power Point presentation, first of all he/she must inform the teacher via email about his/her choice, within the deadline for enrolling in the test date. The written test will contain 5 questions with open answers (2 with a maximum score of 6 points and 3 with a maximum score of 4 points) and 6 multiple choice questions with 4 possible answers (0.5 points for each correct answer), for a total of 27 points. As for the oral examination, the maximum score that can be obtained in the test is 31 points, corresponding to 30/thirties magna cum laude. Reference texts
