    This document provides a syllabus for an Environmental Biology course at Sardar Patel University. The course is divided into 4 units that will be weighted for grading. Unit 1 introduces ecology and different ecosystem types. Unit 2 covers functional aspects like productivity, food chains, and nutrient cycling. Unit 3 discusses causes of ecosystem degradation like deforestation. Unit 4 defines and classifies different types of pollution like water, air, land, noise, and radiation pollution and addresses major global environmental problems. The syllabus lists basic textbooks and references for the course.
