ecology is the scientific study of the relationships between plants and
their environment. As plants are sessile organisms, they are well
adapted to the environmental conditions in which they exist. Plant
ecologists study the interactions between plants and their environment,
between individuals within the same species, between various species of
plants, and between plants and other species. They also
investigate the effects of anthropogenic influences on plants and how to
restore degraded ecosystems. Plant ecologists work in both
laboratories and in the field. The work of plant ecologists is
used to improve land management and restoration techniques.
