ENSC 50203 - Riparian and Wetland Diversity

Prerequisites: Six hours of biology, geology, or environmental science courses. Note: students who enroll in this course may not enroll in ENSC 50246 for credit. This field-intensive course introduces skills to study the diversity of riparian and wetland habitats of North Central Texas. The curriculum introduces methods of sampling a site in terms of its macroinvertebrates, flora, vegetation, soils, and hydrologically relevant landforms. The filed modules are macroinvertebrates, plant zonation, and description of substrates, topography, and landscape context. Some exercises may be done in conjunction with the Wetland Delineation class. The field trips run Thursday evening through Sunday, and are required for all students.
