Stream Ecology and Carbon Cycling




Last Friday we did not have class because of the Fall Weekend Break. Thursday we continued going over notes on Ecosystem Ecology and started mapping out the Carbon Cycle. We continued this today and went into a little more detail with mineralization, respiration, and carbon storage. We prepared ourselves for the Field Trip to New Hope Creek on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. We will be looking at stream invertebrates to gauge the health of the stream and get a better sense of this local stream ecosystem. Since it will be a little cold in the morning everyone should dress warmly and wear shoes (no sandals/flipflops) for walking on the rocks.
