Biology 207 - Plant Physiology Laboratory

The laboratory is a course-based research experience addressing how plant physiology responds to climate change. The Lyman Plant House provides the ideal setting for growing plants under real life climate change scenarios. Students gain hands-on experience with sophisticated instrumentation and techniques used to measure micro-climate, plant-water relations, gas exchange (photosynthetic rate and respiration), nutrient allocation and stable isotope variation. Additionally, students will use RStudio for data visualization, data exploration and data analysis.
