EES 175 - Wetlands

Upper Division

Wetlands was designed to enable non-science major students to experience science as a way of knowing. Students study the environmental and organismal characteristics of various ecosystems which have soil covered with water at least part of the year. They study the biotic and abiotic factors that make wetlands unique. By examining the hydrology and biogeochemistry of fresh and salt water marshes, swamps, mangroves, bogs, vernal pools and peatlands, students come to understand the ecological and economic values of wetlands and about the threat to their continued existence.
