NRES 406 - Ecophysiology of Forest & Range Plants (4 units) Environmental control of tree, shrub and grass physiology. Functional responses to abiotic and biotic stress in their environment and how these responses impact management practices.
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 191A .
Grading Basis: Graded Units of Lecture: 4 Offered: Every Spring
Student Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. evaluate the basic ecophysiological functions of plants that occur in forest and rangeland ecosystems, with emphasis at the tissue and whole plant levels and with emphasis on arid ecosystems in the western US. 2. assess issues of form and function in plants and patterns of plant growth and development, with emphasis on how that may affect ecophysiological processes. 3. apply knowledge about basic ecophysiological functions and growth patterns to explore how plants modify these functions to tolerate abiotic and biotic stress in their environment, how these functions may vary among and within species, and how these functions may impact management practices.
