The course describes the range of physiological specializations demonstrated by plants as they colonise the range of environments across the world. Tropical plants receive special focus as these plants are responsible for the start of most tropical ecosystems, much of the agriculture in feeding the world, especially in harsh climatic conditions. At the end of this course students should be able to critically evaluate their knowledge of plants and re-examine them as highly specialized physiological species evolved over time to combat climate, location and even the consequences of modification for human needs.
