BIOL 690 - Terrestrial Plant Ecology

Units: 3

Survey of the factors that influence the physiology, distribution, and abundance of land (terrestrial) plants. Focuses on plant ecophysiology, plant population dynamics (e.g., dispersal, germination, and recruitment), plant-plant and plant-animal interactions, and the effects of the abiotic factors (e.g., climate, water, and nutrients) on the structure and function of terrestrial plant communities. BIOL 690 is dual-listed with BIOL 390 . These courses will be taught together by the same instructor. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 390. Enrollment Restrictions: Enrollment restricted to students in the Biological Sciences graduate program who have not received credit for BIOL 390 .
