The material in this course falls into two broad themes: ecological foundations (applications of ecology to advance restoration) and ecological practice (using restoration to solve a problem in ecology). Topics covered include ecological theories, vegetation dynamics, trophic interactions, adaptive management, and the use of decision-support tools. The course encourages you to broaden your approach to ecological restoration and deepen your understanding of the way nature works.
