Aquatic Botany with Casey Williams
Casey Williams is an botanist and plant ecologist specializing in aquatic plants - both plants that grow completely submerged and which can emerge above the water surface. In this episode, we discuss :
-the stresses facing plants that grow underwater,
-being limited by CO2 availability instead of water availability,
-the endangered Texas Wild Rice,
-how limestone geology influences aquatic plant growth by making CO2 more abundant,
-utilizing aquatic plants and the fungi that grow on them for bioremediation and treating sewage at the local shitplant
-how some aquatic plants have adapted to a paucity of dissolved carbon dioxide by supplementing with bicarbonate,
-aquatic plants in deserts, and
-how one plant in particular has utilized an evolutionary strategy more frequently employed by desert plants (CAM) as a way to cope with fluctuations in CO2 availability.
