Resource Ecology Concentration
The Resource Ecology concentration is designed for students
interested in the fundamental properties and management
of natural resource systems, including interactions among
plants, other soil biota, soil, water, wildlife, and humans.
The emphasis is on ecology, biology, and management of
aquatic, soil, forest, and wildlife resources. Through
lectures, labs and field exercise, students are given the
opportunity to study biosphere relationships in natural
resource systems. The Resource Ecology concentration includes
coursework in the areas of restoration ecology, aquatic
ecosystem management, tree and plant physiology, and advanced
