EV471 ECOLOGY

  • 3.0 credit hours
  • (BS=3.0, ET=0.0, MA=0.0)
  • Version 2020-1
  • Archived
Scope
This course examines ecosystems through the study of ecological principles related to an organism's relationship to its environment, community, and ecosystem. Species, population, community, and ecosystem level interactions and dynamics are emphasized. The fundamental influences of energy flow and material cycling are examined, as well as the unique role of wetlands within ecosystems. The course includes several field trips, which lead to a culminating term project designed to integrate previously acquired environmental science technical skills and ecological principles.

Scope
This course examines ecosystems through the study of ecological principles related to an organismýs relationship to its environment, population dynamics, species interactions, and community and ecosystem level dynamics. The fundamental influences of energy flow and material cycling are emphasized throughout as well as the role of surface water and watersheds within ecosystems. The course includes several field trips, which lead to a culminating term project designed to integrate previously acquired interdisciplinary environmental science technical skills and ecological principles.

Scope
The semester begins with an introduction to ecosystems. Ecosystems are examined through the study of energy flow, biochemical cycles, primary productivity and high order productivity. The interaction within and between species is examined through a study of populations and communities. The evolution of species and ecosystems completes the study of ecology. Throughout the course the role of surface water and watersheds within ecosystems is emphasized.
