Description
Plant Systematics contains the essential paradigms, concepts, and terms required for a basic understanding of plant systematics
at the graduate or undergraduate level. Plant systematics is an area central to numerous other biological disciplines, and a large subset
of plant scientists are required to take a course in plant systematics. Almost all ecologists, horticulturalists, plant developmental
biologists, and plant pathologists are interested in plant systematics because it is central to their studies of the plants that form
such a large part of every ecosystem and experimental system.
Audience
Graduate and undergraduate students in botany, plant taxonomy, plant systematics, plant pathology, ecology, as well as faculty and researchers in any of the plant sciences.
