• BOT 5745: Terr Ecosys Ecol

  3.00 Credits

  University of Wyoming

  
  Advanced course examines fundamental ecosystem functions and their relationship to ecosystem structure using a systems approach. Study cycles of carbon, water and nutrients through ecosystem components with an emphasis on interactions among plants, soil, and the atmosphere. Current readings focus on responses of terrestrial ecosystems to global climate change an human disturbance. Dual listed with BOT 4745. Prerequisite: one course in ecology.
