The imprint of human influences on the landscape is a reflection of culture, technology, values, and societal attitudes towards nature. This course provides an overview of these influences: throughout history, examines the ways through which today’s society impacts landscape systems, and surveys contemporary strategies through which landscape planners and designers seek to address grand challenges. Couse will explore landscape dynamics in a range of territories including those that are intensely urban, agronomic, protected wildernesses, and all places in-between. Satisfies Volunteer Core Requirement: (AH)

Other Instructors: Ross, Michael

Physiological principles as they relate to landscape design and construction, residential plant management, commercial plant production, agronomic production, and public horticulture: photosynthesis and transpiration, respiration, water and hormonal relations, mineral nutrition, plant development and response to the environment. Focus on how production practices influence plant productivity and quality. Satisfies Volunteer Core Requirement: (EI) (NS) (RE) Prerequisite: PLSC 210. Recommended background: Introductory biology courses covering cell and plant metabolism.

Other Instructors: Walters, Kellie Jean

Introduction to contemporary methods in the construction of sustainable landscapes. Students will be introduced to the properties and use of basic landscape materials, the advancement of design concepts into construction documents, and translating construction documents into built landscapes.

Contact Hour Distribution: 2 hours and 1 lab.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : PLSC 280.

Other Instructors: Wayman, Clint

Advanced design development and representation methods for sustainable landscape practices. Deployment of the designed landscape as a place, idea, and strategy to address social, economic, and environmental challenges. Course will include analog and digital workflows including components of computer aided landscape design.

Contact Hour Distribution: Two 3-hour labs.
(RE) Prerequisite(s) : PLSC 280, PLSC 285.

Other Instructors: Wayman, Clint

Agronomic principles of forage crop production, with a focus on establishing and managing forage species for livestock and wildlife. Forage species characteristics, including physiology, morphology, and the impact of these traits on management practices such as fertilization, grazing, and preservation. Emphasizing sustainable agriculture, the course also covers the role of forage species and management in ecologically and economically viable livestock systems. Credit Restriction: Students may not receive credit for both PLSC 435 and PLSC 535
Recommended Background: Coursework in general agronomics or crop production. Comments: Typically offered fall semester in years ending with an odd number
