<\/td>\nThe concepts and terminology of ecology and ecosystem science that are needed for understanding the structure and functioning of the earth’s ecological systems are explored in depth in this course. Emphasis is placed on energy flow, carbon and mineral cycling, landscape structure, and vegetation dynamics in both “natural” and human altered settings.<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis course will introduce students to the concepts and terminology of ecology and ecosystem science that are the underpinnings of environmental science and natural resource management. The course will provide a foundation for understanding the structure and functioning of the earth’s ecological systems that range from “near” natural to highly altered by human activities. Finally, several of the most significant human activities that alter the environment will be explored.<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nLand Use Planning is an overview of land use planning as it occurs at the municipal, county, and state levels as well as on public or private lands. The course introduces the history, legal framework, and procedures used in planning and prepares students to read the biophysical landscape in context of difficult ethical\/philosophical and policy issues surrounding land use planning.<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis class covers the fundamental organizing ideas and questions associated with the management of rangelands. The course considers both the intrinsic and utilitarian values of rangelands. The course is not a survey of rangelands of the world. When you finish this course you will have an initial model or process for application of ecosystem management to grassland, shrublands and woodlands of the world.<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\nThis class is about food finding, ingestion and utilization by free-grazing animals. This is a class about consumer function in the ecosystem context. Students will learn how animals make diet and spatial choices. They will learn about the link between morpho-digestive physiology and feeding ecology. They will be able to recognize and plan landscapes to meet animal needs to complete different components of their annual and life cycle<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe emphasis of RS 500 is linking biological\/ecological and human systems. In some instances that linkage results in the conservation of values and in some instances that linkage results in a sustainable use of the resource. This class applies the fundamental organizing ideas to management within the ecosystem context<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n		Range Animal management and Production<\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis class looks at the biological and ecological basis for meat production from rangelands. However, The class goes beyond meat production. Students will also be able to evaluate nutritional attributes of rangeland vegetation relative to the need of any free-grazing animal. Emphasis is on seral and structural landscape diversity. Students will gain experience planning landscapes using what we know about factors controlling succession. We address both single species and mixed species scenarios. Examples include both domestic and indigenous animals.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
