If you have taken our Plant Communities core class, you touched on how geology and geography affect native plant communities. This elective class will focus in on these factors.
Geobotany is the study of how plants, their variations, and their distribution are influenced by geological factors like rock type, soil composition, and topography. Geology, in turn, provides the substrate and environmental conditions that plants inhabit, impacting their growth, survival, and distribution.
