Anyone interested in Plant Community Ecology Methods (BOT 434/534) is  
encouraged to sign up ASAP.

This is a 1 credit course on methods in plant community ecology,  
offered starting next week. The class will meet Tuesday afternoons  
(1-5PM) for 7 weeks.

Students will collect plant community data using commonly used  
methods. They will then
Students will learn methods to manage and analyze their data. We will  
discuss and contrast the
sometimes subtly different questions that different multivariate
methods address. Exercises will include management field-collected
data, some simple pencil-and-paper exercises to demonstrate
statistical methods, and implementation (in R) for real data sets.
For graduate students, I will include analysis of a novel data set
(perhaps the student's or advisor's data) to address an interesting
question.
