Collapse ▲Introduction to Ecology and Ecosystem Concepts
An important first step in understanding the complexity of your own backyard is understanding how plants and animals interact with each other and their environment. By giving a broad background on basic ecological concepts, this presentation will survey some of the complexities of natural systems, including the roles different organisms play in their environment as producers and consumers, how plants and animals navigate their surroundings and come together as communities, and how communities change over time. We’ll also cover useful tools for thinking about species diversity and its role in natural (and manmade!) landscapes.
Presenter: Dr. Ashley Troth
Agriculture Extension Agent, N.C. Cooperative Extension – Durham County Center
Ashley Troth has been the Agriculture Extension Agent in Durham County since 2018. Her outreach program focuses broadly on helping Durham County residents with everything from crop and livestock problems to cultivating better home gardens, and includes overseeing over 100 Master Gardener℠ volunteers. As part of her graduate work at Duke University, she spent multiple field seasons in the Oregon Cascades conducting field research on how environmental conditions shape flowering time and flower size in a west coast wildflower. Firmly back in North Carolina, she’s happy to investigate her own 1/10 acre under the watchful eye of her two beagles.
