BIO-225 500 Million Years of Land Plants
This course will take you on a journey through time to view the history of land plants through the lens of three main themes: evolutionary relationships among extant and extinct plant groups, structural innovations in land plant bodies, and interactions among plant communities, geology, and climate. We will learn about the fossil record of terrestrial plants, what the ecosystems they built looked like through time, and how the earths of the past differed from the green planet we live on today.
