Concepts within each section will be presented in the form of a conceptual model to serve as a basis for organizing information and problem analysis. Each section will begin with an introduction of the relevant physiological processes and develop toward an ecological interpretation at the community level. These papers can be checked out in Room 322 of the Animal Industries Building. Appropriate portions of this text are referenced by section on the attached syllabus. It is also recommended that students have direct access to a current plant physiology text.
Exams consist of definitions and short-answer questions.
Problem sets require the synthesis and application of information addressed in lectures and assigned readings to an actual or hypothetical ecological situation.
