Ep. 310 - Plants & Cities  
Podcast: In Defense of Plants Podcast
Published On: Sun Mar 28 2021
Description: Cities are usually designed with only humans in mind, but that doesn't mean myriad other forms of life aren't adapting to live in these human-dominated landscapes as well. My guest today is Jasmin Green, a PhD candidate at UC Davis who is very curious about the ecological dynamics of plant communities in urban environments. From why some plants can establish in cities while others cannot to how different microclimates and maintenance regimes structure plant communities in vacant lots, there are seemingly endless ecological questions that can be asked about the urban environment. Join us for a fascinating dive into the world of an urban ecologist who puts plants and people at the center of her focus.
