ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 241 - Principles of Ecology SM

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. In this introductory course we cover fundamental aspects of climatology, biomes, distribution and abundance of plants and animals, energy flow through ecosystems, nutrient cycling, population dynamics, species interactions, niche theory, community structure and dynamics, landscape ecology, and global ecological issues. The course includes a lecture and a laboratory component that requires completion of lab reports. A portion of the course will entail field work at the James H. Barrow Field Station. This course is designed and required for the Environmental Studies Major or Minor, and it fulfills the lab science distribution requirement, but does not count toward a Biology Major.
