Comprehensive Field Study on Plant Structure, Function, and Ecology

Explore the dynamic world of plants through our in-depth field study curriculum. This program covers key plant concepts, including form and function, photosynthesis, seed dispersal, and the role of plants in ecosystems as producers, consumers, and decomposers. Engage with interactive online activities, diagrams, and videos to enhance your understanding of plant biology and ecology. Discover the importance of root systems, transpiration, and the impact of invasive species. Ideal for educators and students seeking a comprehensive guide to plant science.
