  • BIOL 316: Wetlands:Hydrology,Ecology,Restoration

    3.00 Credits
    Framingham State University

    A study of wetlands and their role in the hydrology and ecology of global landscapes. Course topics include the function of inland and coastal marshes, swamps and bogs in water and nutrient cycles, and the role of wetlands in the support of biodiversity, from microbes to vertebrates. The biological links between wetlands and human activities, such as agriculture, coastal development, and fisheries, and the legal framework for the protection and restoration of endangered wetlands are also examined. Additional course fees apply. Prerequisites: One year of introductory science (e.g. biology, geology, chemistry, or engineering) and two upper level (elective) science courses. Application to campus representative of the Marine Studies Consortium must be made one semester prior to experience.
