​Vegetation Sampling and Analysis (BIOL 4514 + BIOL 3550) - offered Fall 2017

LONG-TERM ECOLOGY EXPERIMENT AT THE WEST RESEARCH CAMPUS (Plants RULE!)
In this course, you will contribute to a long-term study of the plant community at a wetland site.  Since 2002, students at ECU have been working to build a long-term data set on the effects of disturbance (mowing) and nutrients (fertilizer) on the species composition and diversity of this plant community. After the annual dataset is completed, you will have the opportunity to work with your data, as well as data from previous years, to test a particular hypothesis of your own design.
