Hello All, I teach an upper-level undergrad/grad course about weed biology and ecology. I'm hoping to gather some ideas about plant competition experiments that could be used in the classroom to demonstrate fundamental principles governing intra- or inter-specific competition. I'd especially be interested in ideas that could fit into a contest of sorts, where students would try to design scenarios with specific hypothesized outcomes. I'm also especially interested in showing how things like size inequalities and resource requirements vs. availability can affect the outcomes of inter-specific competition. If anyone has some example of exercise they have used in the classroom, please share them with me. Thanks!
Greta
