Advanced Range Plant Ecology

Catalog description

Plants are essential organisms on this planet and as a species we have a direct dependence on plants for our survival. This course is designed for students seeking to enhance their working knowledge of plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant nutrition, and soil characteristics. Students will investigate theoretical concepts and empirical studies of plant ecology and their application at the individual, population, and community levels. Although this course will explore global vegetation patterns, special focus will be on semi-arid environments found within the Tamaulipan Biotic Province.
