Course content
Science branch dealing with numbers of plants (population ecology) and numbers of allels (population genetics). During 1980s. population biology of plants became dynamic discipline, dealing with phenomena on the level of individuum and populations. On the population level it is closely related to evolutionary ecology and biosystematics, and also with community ecology. Study of clonal plants relate to ecophysiology and physiology, especially nutrient and assimilate transport and plant integration (density regulation, competition).
