Agroecosystems and Global Change
Examines impacts of global change drivers like climate change and urbanization on agroecosystems, including land use feedbacks, modeling, and literature review.
Summary
Recent recorded grades — Fall 2021: 3.89 GPA, 92.9% A/AB (n=14 letter grades); Fall 2023: 3.75 GPA, 91.7% A/AB (n=12 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.58 GPA, 83.3% A/AB (n=6 letter grades).
What you’ll be able to do
Explain key physical, biological, and social drivers of change to agroecosystems on planet Earth
Apply important biophysical and biological concepts to describe how a changing climate and changes in atmospheric composition impact agricultural systems
Describe how agricultural land management impacts the Earth’s climate system through changing biogeochemical cycling
Discuss how agricultural land management impacts Earth’s climate system through biogeophysical processes that effect energy and water balance in the soil-plant-atmosphere system
Identify and summarize ecosystem services that are impacted by agroecosystems and land management decision-making, and how this effects global environmental sustainability
