Expected Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course a fully engaged student should be able to
- diagram and discuss the flow of energy through an ecosystem
- diagram, discuss the causes of, and discuss some of the implications of the enegy pyramid
- diagram nitrogen cycle within an ecosystem
- discuss the factors that influence the rate of flow from dead bodies to the soil and discuss the implications of differences in this rate
For the expected learning outcome "discuss the factors that influence the rate of flow from dead bodies to the soil and discuss the implications of differences in this rate" I'm not finding the information to answer this question fully.
ReplyDeleteThis info is not found in any of the readings. I will discuss this in class on Monday so hopefully it will be clear to you after that.
