Effects of Intraspecific Competition on Plants

This lab exercise examines the effect of density on the survival and growth of plant populations. Students examine a variety of parameters in experimental populations of radish plants grown at different densities. They evaluate their findings against the Law of Final Constant Yield and the Reciprocal Yield Law. This exercise follows the Four Dimensional Ecology Education (4DEE) framework adopted by the Ecological Society of America.
