This unit provides a comprehensive overview of the processes shaping terrestrial plant populations, communities and ecosystems with special attention paid to plant-animal interactions and global change biology. Students develop practical skills in the analysis of vegetation, the analysis and projection of population size and dynamics and the investigation of plant-animal interactions and ecosystem processes. The lecture course covers modern thinking in plant ecology, plant-animal interactions and the responses of species, communities and ecosystems to global climate change. The practicals, half of which are based in the field, provide skills in the collection, analysis and interpretation of ecological data.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle, P Beauty Point. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas.
