BIOL 3302 Terrestrial Plant Ecology
Terrestrial plants will be studied from various perspectives including: photosynthesis, water and nutrient acquisition (organismal ecology), natural selection and partitioning variation (evolutionary ecology), population growth and life history characteristics (population ecology), interspecific interactions and succession (community ecology), nutrient cycling (ecosystem ecology) and major biome types and their relationships with climate change (landscape/global ecology). The three hour laboratory will include several field trips to local landscapes and a course-based research experience where students propose a project, collect data, analyze and present findings in a written manuscript and a presentation.
