grassland-ecology
Grassland ecology is the study of the structure, function, and dynamics of grassland ecosystems, including the interactions between plants, soils, climate, and other organisms. For plant science, it provides critical insights into how grasses and forbs adapt to disturbance regimes such as fire, grazing, and drought, and how plant communities assemble and compete in open, light-rich environments. Understanding these dynamics informs research on ecosystem resilience, carbon cycling, and the conservation of some of Earth's most biodiverse and threatened plant communities.
