Plant Ecology

This overview of plant ecology addresses the distribution and abundance of plants and their interactions with other organisms and the physical environment. We will explore factors that affect plants as individuals, populations, and communities, such as life history, resource use, competition, and animal-plant interactions (e.g., pollination, dispersal, herbivory). This Basic Certificate online core course is self-paced, requires fieldwork, and provides opportunities for peer discussion. An instructor will guide you in your learning, review your assignments, and answer your questions. Please note: Registration closes Monday, June 12, 2023, at 12 PM OR when all spaces fill, whichever comes first. Course access ends on Friday, August 18, 2023, 12 PM.
