The course will provide a framework for understanding the nature and scale of evolution, adaptation and ecophysiological responses of plants to their almospheric environment. The course will address the following scales in time and space: land plant evolution over the last 400 million years; plants responses to environmental extremes, seen both as geological extinction events and with changes in altitude and latitude; global and local scales of plant responses to past, present and likely future carbon dioxide concentrations.
