An introduction to the study of ecosystems with an emphasis on biogeochemical cycles, energy budgets and other emergent properties. Laboratory will focus on comparative and experimental approaches to the study of local ecosystems (streams, lakes, wetlands, forests). Students will acquire hands-on experience with techniques used by ecosystem ecologists, such as nutrient analysis of stream water, determination of ecosystem metabolism and analysis of forest and wetland soils.
