The field involves the study of a wide range of organisms, from the smallest bacteria to the largest of living things. Plant scientists investigate processes that occur on a time scale from fractions of a second to eons. They may examine plant structure, growth, ecology, and genetics as well as a variety of agricultural technologies. Plant scientists improve our supply of foods, fibers, medicines, building materials, turf and landscape plants. They may be involved in managing parks, forests, rangelands and wilderness areas and help solve problems related to environment quality.
