Summary
After completing Module 6, you should now be able to:
- Describe key features of categories of crop plants and how they are adapted to environmental and ecological factors
- Explain how soil and climatic features determine what crops can be produced in a location, and how humans may alter an environment for crop production.
- Describe some plant physiological traits and differences that could influence how plants adapt to climate change.
- Explain how both environmental and socio-economic factors contribute to crop plant selection (coupled human-nature systems).
Reminder - Complete all of the Module 6 tasks!
You have reached the end of Module 6! Double-check the to-do list on the Module 6 Roadmap to make sure you have completed all of the activities listed there before moving on to Module 7.1!
