Description:

Prerequisites, BIOL 205, 224, 319. Wetlands are diverse ecosystems that provide wildlife habitat, filter nutrients from the landscape, and store globally significant amounts of carbon in their soils. Despite these benefits (and many others), over 50% of the historical wetlands in the conterminous United States have been lost. This course will investigate the unique hydrology, soil, biogeochemistry and flora that define wetlands. The changing legal status of wetlands and efforts to conserve and restore these ecosystems will also be explored. Lecture and lab. (Offered fall semester, alternate years.) 4 credits.
