Integrates information from physics (energetics), chemistry (element properties) and biology (evolutionary traits, photosynthetic pathways) to understand the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Provides an analysis of biotic community responses and feedbacks to environmental change drivers. Strong focus on water, nutrient cycling and carbon dynamics of diverse terrestrial and aquatic landscapes. Recommended prerequisites: general biology, EBIO 2040 or equivalent. Same as ENVS 4155, EBIO 5155 and ENVS 5155.
