This course discusses the adaptations of plants to their environment. It emphasizes the morphological and physiological mechanisms in plants that influence plant establishment, the below- and above-ground productivity, and plant interactions such as competition, herbivory, and allelopathy. Plant physiological response and adaptation to environmental stress, e.g., solar radiation, temperature, drought, and nutrition in relation to the nature of phenotypic and ecotypic variations in plants will be discussed. Carbon allocation and dynamics in plants and in plant communities will also be discussed in this course.
