EBIO-3270 (3) Ecosystem Ecology

Integrates information from physics (e.g., energetics), chemistry (the behavior of basic elements), and biology (evolutionary traits of species, multiple photosynthetic pathways, etc.) to understand the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Provides the background and necessary information to understand controls on photosynthesis, decomposition, and nutrient cycling across diverse terrestrial and aquatic landscapes. Recommended prereqs., EBIO 1210 and EBIO 1220 and EBIO 1230 and EBIO 1240 and EBIO 2040 (min. grade C-).
