View Resource Extreme droughts in the southeast- How do we sustain ecosystem services?

Predicted increased variability in rainfall together with the effects of fast-growing population centers, hydropower development, and irrigated agriculture will likely continue to alter landscape and biotic diversity of freshwater ecosystems in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River Basin in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Adaptations to these climatic changes among water users provide...

View Resource Where Does Water Go When it Rains?

This short film includes interviews with water researchers and presents basic concepts of hydrologic cycle. Understanding where water goes is important for understanding the environmental effects of many of our activities, from land development to fertilizer use or how will harvesting trees change the likelihood of flooding or landslides.

View Resource Drivers of Avian Local Species Richness: Continental-Scale Gradients, Regional LAndscape, or Local Land Cover?

Students use data to test hypotheses on breeding bird species richness. Students will exercise critical thinking skills to interpret data sets and maps. They will then create graphic presentations of their findings. This activity is included in Volume 8 of Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE).

View Resource The Invasive Grass-Fire Cycle in the U.S. Great Basin

Students will exercise critical thinking skills to form a hypothesis on how cheatgrass alters fire behaviors. Students will analyze data and answer questions based on their interpretation of field-based data and satellite data. Using this information, students will collaborate to create maps and graphs. This activity is included in Volume 8 of Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology...
