Plants, Habitats and Climate Change

Undergraduate

An in-depth look at major habitats found in tropical, temperate, boreal and Arctic regions and the plants that grow there. We explore the habitat’s abiotic and biotic features, and plant strategies that make them successful in these habitats. We discuss how plants can adapt to climate change and environmental change, and the impacts of change on plant communities. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1113/1123, and either BIOL 2033 or BIOL 2043 with minimum grades of C-, or permission of the instructor.
