Students can participate in modern plant ecology and physiology with the use of new equipment including growth chambers, a portable photosynthesis measuring system, a portable leaf area meter, a datalogger, a portable chamber for measuring plant water stress, an analytical balance, and electrophoresis equipment. A series of laboratory exercises have been developed to examine the effects of environmental stress on plants. Exercises using the new equipment include 1. laboratory and field studies on the effects of environmental variation on plant growth, development and reproduction; 2. studies of plant competition under controlled environmental conditions; and 3. studies that examine levels of genetic variability in population and measure the proportion of variation in multi-gene traits determined by environmental or genetic factors.

学生可以参与现代植物生态学和生理学， 新设备的使用，包括生长室、便携式 光合作用测量系统，便携式叶面积计， 数据记录仪，用于测量植物水分胁迫的便携式箱， 分析天平和电泳设备。一系列 已经开发了实验室练习来检查 环境对植物的压力使用新设备的练习 包括1.关于环境影响的实验室和实地研究 植物生长、发育和繁殖的变异; 2.研究 受控环境条件下的植物竞争;以及3. 研究群体中遗传变异的水平， 测量多基因性状的变异比例， 环境或遗传因素。
