Global and PNW trends in forest cover. Approaches to conservation of biological diversity and their connection with other environmental issues discussed this term. This allows me to broaden your foundation in the subjects far more than I could if we only had our three hours per week.

I do not spend much time in lecture discussing readings, but I am happy to answer questions on them, either in or out of class.
Exams focus on material covered in lecture, but major concepts from the reading are also fair game.
Quizzes . . . . . . . . . . . . . Be forewarned, however, that course content and exam format change from year to year, so use old exams only to indicate the types of questions to anticipate. This page is maintained by Patricia Muir at Oregon State University. Page last updated September 8, 2001.
