ENV S&P 705. Seed-Free Plant Ecology & Evolution. 1 Credit.

This seminar provides a deep dive into the world of the bryophytes—the non-vascular land plants—including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. We will learn about and discuss topics such as bryophyte community ecology, peatland ecology and biogeochemical cycles, spatial and ecological diversity of bryophyte lineages, moss polyploidy and diversification, and Sphagnum (peatmoss) biogeography. The course will be a mix of readings, discussions, bryophyte walks on campus, and an introduction to bryophyte identification using microscopic characters.
