Learning Outcomes: - Students will be able to explain basic terminology, concepts and methods of plant ecology, landscape/ecosystem dynamics, and community structure using forest communities of North America as examples.
- Students will be able to apply scientific methods of inquiry appropriate to landscape and ecosystem dynamics to gather and analyze data and draw evidence¿based conclusions about forest community structure in Ohio.
- Students will be able to evaluate evidence-based scientific arguments about forest conservation and management in a logical fashion and distinguish between scientific and non¿scientific evidence and explanations.
- Students will be able to communicate how observations of plant community dynamics (specifically the structure and dynamics of forest communities) are controlled by human activity in forests and how they have shaped human social and economic development.
