ESM 518 Landscape Ecology

Examines the structure, function, and change of natural and human-modified communities at the scale between individual communities and regional biomes. Focuses on spatial patterns and processes as they relate to the patch mosaic of inter- acting ecological communities. Expected preparation: Geog 313 or Bi 357. Upper-division standing required. Also offered for undergraduate-level credit as ESM 418; this is the same course as Geog 518 and may be taken only once for credit.
