Plant Diversity
Including bacteria, archaea, algae, and fungi
Embedded Files
An educational resource for students studying plant diversity. This web page is about the diversity, morphologies, life histories, and evolution of plants, and also includes information about bacteria, archaea, fungi, and algae / protists. It is not meant to be an all-encompassing web page of life on Earth. Specifically, it focuses on those organisms that either have evolutionary importance, or a horticultural connection to humans, or directly affect plants positively or negatively.

Learning Objectives
Students will be able to...
...understand the binomial system of nomenclature, the taxonomic hierarchy and agents/process of evolution
...understand morphological features that differentiate the various domains, kingdoms and phyla of life
...observe and identify different examples of bacteria, fungi, protists, algae, and plants
...explain the life cycles of studied groups
...explain the ecological and/or evolutionary significance of the taxonomic groups
