Prerequisites: Six hours in biology, geology, or environmental science. Note: students who enroll in this course may not enroll in ENSC 50246 for credit. This field-intensive course introduces skills to describe the diversity of terrestrial life and landscapes. The curriculum introduces methods of sampling a site in terms of its macroinvertebrates, flora, vegetation, rocks, soils, and landforms. Collections of invertebrates and plants are required. Field skill instruction includes context description, emphasizing vegetation structure correlated with soils, geology, and landforms. The three field modules are terrestrial invertebrates, plant communities, and geology-landforms-soils description. These field trips run Thursday evening through Sunday, and are required for all students.
