Description
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for ecologists, wetland biologists, and wildlife biologists seeking to learn how plants survive in their environment. Emphasis is placed on understanding the developmental and physiological plasticity exhibited across the plant kingdom. Students who participate in class will be able to (i) explain the environmental challenges that limit plant growth and (ii) discuss the physiological mechanisms plants have evolved to adapt to these constraints. Some topics include water balance, plant “decision making” as it relates to nutrients and photosynthesis, allelopathy, and the elemental defense hypothesis.
FORMAT & DATES (see course ad for more details)
With Instructor Support (1 month support + 2 months of additional access to course materials)
