Ecology Lab

ecology lab

The Ecology Lab is a resource facility available to everyone in the ENV Faculty. The lab has a wide range of both field and laboratory equipment for your course and research needs. There is also a library of field guides and methods (PDF).

We will demonstrate use of available Ecology Lab Equipment (PDF) (equipment guidelines), help you develop proper sampling techniques, discuss course/research needs and projects and help with analysis.

A variety of work occurs in the lab including:

Identification of plants, invertebrates, insects, and other fauna
Water and soil quality testing and analysis
Forest plots, vegetation transects, and associated parameters to test
Determination of sampling design, field collection, testing and analysis
we also monitor Laurel Creek using dataloggers

The Ecology Digital lab is an electronic library archive that includes
historical documents, rare environmental reports, projects, theses,
ESPA documents and other information!

This online resource is available under “self-registration” once you
log into UW LEARN. Go to the Contents tab and the documents are
categorized under various topics.
