About this Unit

This unit explores the taxonomic and functional biodiversity of Australian vascular and non-vascular plants. It emphasises the interpretation of plant traits within ecological and evolutionary contexts, including adaptations related to fire, pollination, seed dispersal, and nutrient acquisition. Students will examine plant evolution and major lineages, with a focus on structural and functional changes across key groups. Skill development includes field-based botanical survey techniques and laboratory-based identification of plant taxa using morphological traits and taxonomic keys.
