NSEE 8200 - Ecological Systems: Biomes

The concept of systems is essential to understanding ecological principles; nothing demonstrates this better than the biomes of Minnesota. Each of Minnesota’s biomes (prairie, deciduous forest, boreal forest) is an interplay of large geologic, biologic, cultural, and meteorological systems. Within each broad system is a subset of systems recognized as plant communities. Experience hands-on, wet-feet camping; sampling, identifying, and observing; travel and reflection, story-sharing; and science knowledge. Discover applications for your own classroom.
