Plant ecologists study the distribution and abundance of plant life, as well as
the interactions between plants and their natural environment (sunlight,
climate, habitat). This field of study is vital to human life. Not only do human
beings depend on plants for food, but factors that affect plant life will also
affect our entire planet.
