ABE 5340: Ecosystem Restoration Engineering
(Dual-listed with ABE 4340).
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Laboratory 3, Lecture 2.
Repeatable.
Apply governing principles of ecological engineering, including biological, chemical, and physical conditions, to restoration design. Ecological concepts, such as water and elemental cycling, energy flow through systems, ecological disturbance, and natural and anthropogenic stresses. Design approaches focus on nature-based solutions, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive management. Restoration applications include streams, floodplains and riparian zones, wetlands, and prairies.
