Plant Ecology

Plant Ecology

Course info

This course is designed to give you a deeper understanding of the principles of plant ecology.  It will teach you why plants are the way they are, their relationships to other plants and living beings, how they developed in evolution and which factors determine their growth and survival. Apply that understanding to horticulture and the cultivation of plants and develop a new view on the plant world!

What will you achieve from this course?

After completing Plant Ecology you will understand the importance of plants as energy producers within ecosystems.  You will have knowledge of the effects of plant association and competition on the succession of plants, how plant communities respond to environmental stresses, how the development, structure and function of an organism depends on the interaction of that organism with its environment, plus a whole lot more!
