Wetlands are a critical ecosystem on the planet, providing many of ecosystem goods (fish and timber) and services (water purification, pollution abatement). Yet wetlands are often depicted as scary, dark places to avoid. Even our lexicon is filled with negative descriptors ( I am swamped with work, or I am bogged down) that are associated with wetlands. This course will introduce concepts to help the students understand wetland ecology. The course will be divided into three parts; wetland hydrology, wetland ecosystems and wetland management.
May be used to satisfy the Upper Level Elective requirement for ENVS majors.
