Ecosystem Science and Management University of Connecticut, Spring 2021 Syllabus Course overview: We will examine the interactions between physical, chemical, and biological processes that regulate terrestrial and aquatic systems, as well as management strategies that explicitly consider ecosystem structure and function. The objective of this course is to provide a graduate-level overview of the principles of ecosystem science – including concepts, theories, and tools – that will help you advance your own study of ecological systems.

Aquatic Ecosystems University of New Hampshire, Fall 2016 Syllabus Course overview: This course will develop the principles of ecosystem ecology, with a focus on their application to freshwater ecosystems (streams, rivers, wetlands, and lakes). Ecosystem ecology is the study of energy and material flows through the living (plants, fish, microbes) and non-living (soils, rocks) components in an ecosystem. We will study the major element cycles, patterns of energy flow through ecosystems, and the links between ecosystem structure and function so that we can critically evaluate how complex processes (climate change, watershed urbanization) may directly or indirectly impact aquatic ecosystems.
