Plant Ecosystem Function - BIOL713
We are reliant on healthy plant ecosystems in many ways: they provide us all with food to eat, shelter and habitat, clear air to breathe, and clean water to drink. This unit provides an advanced understanding of plant ecosystem function, at scales ranging from global and landscape level down to the underlying biochemical and physiological processes. Students will acquire an in-depth knowledge of plant physiology and ecology, and will learn to apply this knowledge to predict and explain plant ecosystem function in different environments and under stress. Students will gain experience in the design and analysis of experiments in plant ecophysiology, and will learn the basic principles of quantitative ecosystem modelling.
