BI 102H - General Biology-Forest Biology

Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

4 credits Forest Biology provides an introduction to the discipline of comparative biology. The emphasis is on developing a general understanding of forest organisms and their structural and physiological adaptations to one of the most important ecosystems on earth: the coniferous forest of the Pacific Northwest. Through lab and field investigations, computer activities, lecture, and discussions, students will study plant and animal body systems and their requirements for nutrition, growth and reproduction, function of the vascular system and responses to pathogens. Throughout the course students will explore connections between the biological interactions that take place in forests and human activity that affects forest organisms. Community service projects in forest biology may be integrated into course activities. All inclass field trips are required and there may be one out-of-class required trip.
