Description

Woody Plants is an intensive field, lab, and lecture-based learning experience focused on woody plant diversity. The lab and field trips focus on the identification and natural history of 160 trees, shrub and vine species that are important in Michigan environments, which include riparian and floodplain habitats, glacial lakes, moraines, bogs and a variety of forest types. Broader themes covered in lecture include biogeographic history and the assembly of Michigan plant communities, plant-insect interactions, ecological specialization, and impacts of anthropogenic environmental changes.

Class Format:

Learning Mode: All class meetings will be taught synchronously and In-Person for the Fall 2021 term.

Instruction Mode: The Lecture section (001) will meet synchronously twice per week. Each Lab section will meet synchronously once per week.
