Join us for a fascinating journey into the world of plants! This three-part series of Science Short Takes will explore how plants came to shape life on Earth, the incredible ways they reproduce and spread, and the dynamic lifecycles and partnerships that sustain ecosystems across the globe and right here in the Sonoran Desert. Each session highlights a different aspect of plant life—from ancient origins to modern-day mutualisms—offering a deeper understanding of the green world all around us. Whether you're a curious learner, gardener, or nature enthusiast, you'll walk away with new insights into the vital and complex roles plants play in our world. Every plant has a rhythm—from seed to seedling, to maturity and renewal. But plants don’t go it alone. This Science Short explores the lifecycle stages of plants and the vital partnerships they form with fungi, insects, and animals. Discover how mutualism, co-evolution, and seasonal timing help plants thrive in diverse environments.
