This class is concerned with the design and execution of field sampling campaigns to inventory and monitor plant and animal communities. We review basic sampling theory, survey methods for both terrestrial and aquatic plants, vertebrates and invertebrates, multivariate analysis of community data, and indices of biotic integrity. Prerequisites: ESM 201.
