Topics course. Ecosystems are constantly challenged by global change due to anthropogenic activities. This seminar will explore the impacts of several global change factors, including non-native plant and animal invasions, pollution, and climate change. A physiological ecology approach will be used to understand this issue by covering a broad range of readings from scientific journal articles to global change assessments. Ultimately, the course addresses pressing global change problems and elucidates the role for adaptation and mitigation.
