ENVIRON 317 - Tropical Forests and Global Change

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Environment

Description:

Tropical ecologists labor to understand how the diversity and dynamics of humid tropical forests are being affected by land use change in the form of ecosystem loss, fragmentation and disturbance regimes. More recently ecologists have begun to realize the complex synergies at various scales that link climate change and land use change in the tropics. Course will consider causes, consequences and possible mitigations of global change for tropical forests in the context of the fundamental ecology of tropical forested ecosystems. Instructor: Bynum
