BOTANY
Botany is defined as being the scientific study of plant life. It is known to be
split up into five main subcategories which are:
Plant anatomy: An area of botany which focuses the internal structure of plants,
concentrating on mature structures and their origin, development and evolution.
Dendrology: An area of botany which studies trees, shrubs and other woody
plants.
Plant morphology: An area of botany which focuses on the external structure
and appearance of plants, namely their visual characteristics.
Plant physiology: An area of botany which focuses on the function (or
physiology) of plants such as their daily functions and processes.
Chemical ecology, which deals with the ecological role of biological chemicals
used in a wide range of areas including defense against predators and attraction of
mates;
Fire ecology, which looks at the role of fire in the environment of plants and
animals and its effect on ecological communities;
Functional ecology, the study of the roles, or functions, that certain species (or
groups thereof) play in an ecosystem;
Marine ecology, and aquatic ecology, where the dominant environmental milieu
is water;
