Many universities are located within urban areas, not commonly recognized as complex and dynamic
ecosystems. This module was created to introduce students to these ecosystems, provide them with
techniques used commonly by ecologists to assess ecosystem diversity and health, and gain a better
understanding of both positive and negative human impacts on urban environments. This lab has been
designed to be flexible and has been executed both as a 3-hour module and a three-day, 18-hour module,
and with indoor contingencies in place in case of inclement weather.
