ENVM 623 - California Ecosystems

Unit(s): 2

The primary goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding and appreciation of the diversity of ecosystems in California, with consideration of natural biotic and abiotic processes that shape these ecosystems, impacts from anthropogenic stresses, policies related to ecosystem management and conservation, and restoration of these ecosystems. In each class, we will explore a diversity of ecosystems found throughout California and sample them to better understand their structure, functioning, and key abiotic and biotic processes.
