BIOL-5114: Advanced Global Change Ecology

Description: Human alterations of climate, landscapes and biogeochemical cycling influence ecological structure and functioning at the global scale. Such changes have the potential to disrupt natural and managed ecosystems with potentially significant biological and economic impacts. This course will examine the influences of these global changes on ecosystem processes and biodiversity, drawing on paleo-and contemporary examples. Current and future potential feedbacks between biological systems and the global environment will also be addressed. Pre: Graduate standing.
