Ph.D. in Environmental Botany is a research-based program that studies plants in relation to their surroundings, including interactions with ecosystems, climate, and soil. The program, which typically lasts 3-5 years, includes plant ecology, environmental stresses, conservation biology, plant physiology, and the role of plants in ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and soil stabilization. Students conduct original research to investigate how environmental changes, such as climate change and habitat destruction, affect plant biodiversity and health. The program consists of coursework in botany, ecology, environmental science, and research technique, culminating in a dissertation. Graduates frequently seek employment in education, conservation, environmental research, and environmental consulting.
