Course Catalog Description:
Each ecosystem restoration is the product of a myriad of decisions made in response to existing site conditions (biotic and abiotic), anticipated effects from the surrounding landscape, predictions about future events, logistical realities, and, of course, desired conditions. During this course, you will learn about the ecological and social factors that affect ecosystem recovery and how people intervene to reverse ecosystem degradation. The course includes examples from ecosystems around the world, with emphasis on those found in the Midwestern US. Field trips. PREREQUISITES: This course presumes previous courses in basic ecology and plant science.
Class Notes:
This class is a blended course. In-person class sessions: 2.5 hours per week, will include discussions, cases, and guest lectures. Online asynchronous lectures: 1.5 hours per week. This class also includes several field trips (some self-scheduled, one on a Saturday).
Class Description:
Ecological and physiological concepts are explored as a basis for regenerating grasslands, wetlands, forests and other landscapes. The extent to which restorations have succeeded or failed is often a reflection of the state of our understanding of ecological processes. Half of the course introduces students to the ecological and physiolocial concepts relevant to land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiological concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration and reclamation. Readings from the primary literature are used to illustrate how restoration and reclamation efforts apply an ecological and/or physiolocial concept. Students discuss the extent to which land restoration has depended on scientific predictions vs. trial and error to develop cultural practices. The other half of the course provides students with and in-depth view of the restoration of specific kinds of ecological communities. For each ecommunity, students are provided with information on the history of restoratoin, the impetus for restorations (cultural, political), and the range of restoratoin practices and desired outcomes, and major limitations to success. Field visits are scheduled for the first half of the course.
