BIOL 201 Organisms that Sustain the Earth: Understanding Plants
BIOL201
Description
Plants, as the most important primary producers in terrestrial systems due to their ability to perform photosynthesis, are the base source of energy and foundation of food webs in most ecosystems. This course will introduce students to the factors that influence the growth, distribution and abundance of plants, the influence of plants on energy and nutrient flow, and key features of plant biology. Students will explore the diversity of plant traits and how they may be influenced by resource availability, species interactions, and climate. Case studies will illustrate the role of plants, such as in ecosystem function, human culture, and animal ecology.
