Wake up to Spring
by Jesse Speer
|
Rocky Mountain Nature Association Field Seminar
The transition from winter to spring offers insights into the natural history of organisms
and function of ecosystems that are not often appreciated in summer visits to the field. Spring Ecology is a survey
of physical and biological processes as snow-covered environments rapidly change to summer conditions. We will
spend the weekend in the field exploring the ecology of Rocky Mountain National Park upper montane and
subalpine landscapes during this transition. We will study plant, vertebrate, and microbial cold-season adaptations.
We will also consider how spring processes play a role in ecosystem "growing season" dynamics, shape landscapes,
and are important factors in conservation and management of natural resources of the Rocky Mountains
