The course aims to describe and analyse the interactions of the atmospheric environment with biological systems. The introductory concepts of climatology and bioclimatology and the processes between climate and living organisms (vegetation, animals and humans) are included. Climate variability, global climate variability/change, extreme weather events and their impacts are analysed. The microclimatic and biometeorological/bioclimatic conditions in outdoor planted and uncovered areas, greenhouses and warehouses, and plant-covered areas for the incubation of productive livestock are analyzed and described. Emphasis is placed on the phenology of biota in relation to climatic conditions and the vegetation-climate relationship, basic climatic and bioclimatic classifications and climatic and bioclimatic-biometeorological indicators. Bioclimate is analyzed using classical and new techniques and methods, and modern systems for automatic monitoring, acquisition, transmission, and processing of bioclimatic parameters are described. Specific topics, such as the assessment of the meteorological risk of fire initiation and the dispersion of pollutants in natural and agricultural areas, are also described.

The laboratory exercises are carried out both in the laboratory classroom and in the field in vegetated and non-vegetated areas. These exercises aim to gain fluency and experience in acquiring, processing, and managing bioregulatory and bioclimatic data in agricultural, natural, and urban areas. After completing the exercises, the student can manage bioclimatic and biometeorological data for research or professional applications.
