This course examines the dynamic interactions between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere, with particular focus on the role of turbulence in controlling energy, water, and carbon fluxes across the land surface, especially above forests. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective that bridges micrometeorology, ecology, and environmental physics, the course aims to build a comprehensive understanding of the physical and biological processes that govern ecosystem–atmosphere exchanges.
