| Course Objectives: | (1) Describe the structure and function of
freshwater wetlands. (2) Evaluate ecological principles that broadly apply to all wetland ecosystems, and contrast to terrestrial systems. (3) Determine effect of management activities on, and the management potential of wetlands. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Scope: | The course covers wetland terms and types, wetland hydrology, biogeochemistry, and succession. Basic plant adaptations to wetlands are discussed. Various wetland ecosystems are examined relative to geographical extent, geomorphology, hydrology, chemistry, ecosystem structure, and ecosystem function (succession, productivity, nutrient cycling, etc.). The ecosystems analyzed include: tidal freshwater marshes, inland freshwater marshes, northern peatlands and bogs, southern deepwater swamps, and riparian wetlands. Values, management, and the restoration and creation of wetlands are also discussed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Methods and Materials: | Wetlands, by W.J. Mitsch and J.G. Gosselink (2nd ed., Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., 1993), is the textbook. Additional reading is required for writing assignments. Undergraduate grades are based on written exams (550 points; two regular exams scaled to 150 points each, final scaled to 250 points) and weekly unannounced quizzes (50 points). Undergraduates may choose to write a term paper (substitute for 150 exam points, which will be averaged with scores from two regular exams). Graduate grades are based on written exams (350 points; two regular exams at 100 points each, final worth 150 points), weekly unannounced quizzes (50 points), a term paper (100 points), and oral presentation (100 points). There will be about 10 unannounced quizzes during the semester, which will typically take place during the first five minutes of class. Students who are late or absent for any quiz receive a "0" for that quiz. I will drop the lowest quiz grade for each student before calculating quiz average. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Grades: | Grades will be assigned according to the
following scale:

| 2003 Schedule: |
FINALS WEEK: Two-hour FINAL EXAM; 50% over material from Exams I and II and 50% over all material related to Chapters 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, AND wetland diversity paper. _________________________________________________ |
