Natural Sciences 191CNS79 - FYS- Grow or Not to Grow

When it's unbearably hot outside, you seek shade underneath a tree or run to the nearest air-conditioned room. But what about that tree? What can it do to beat the heat? It can hardly move out of the sun, or crawl into an air-conditioned room. So, why does the tree appear to be fine on dangerously hot days? How does the tree balance survival, growth, and reproduction? A plant's dilemma! Join me as we explore these questions and more, illuminating the hidden side of plants!

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
