🍃 *BOTANY & THE MORDERN WORLD*🍃
The plants had been the fundamental & the basic need of other living things, ever since the beginning of life on earth, Despite being the primary source of Nutrition, they also help to purify the atmosphere through photosynthesis, where they will absorb the Carbon dioxide that has been exhaled by the animals & produce Oxygen in return Which is absorbed by the animals .
However, in the ecological pyramid, the plants are the primary Sources of food which provide the energy to the next trophic level which are the Hervivours, In the process, 90% of the energy in the plants is been lost to the surrounding. The Carnivours will then feed on the Hervivours & still 90% of the energy is been lost to the surrounding, The process continues untill it reached the decomposers.
This shows the energy flow in the ecosystem, in which the plants are the producers & the major sources of energy in the ecosystem.
Biology is the study of life in general, among its branches is the *BOTANY* which is a branch of Biology that deals with the study of PLANTS, their structure, Habitat, Type, Anatomy, Reproduction, Physiology, propagation as well as the Abiotic factors that affect their growth like Temprature, Wind, Rainfall, Relative Humudity & Etc.
Or it has been defined as the study of the plant life or the properties & life phenomenom exhibited by a plant, plant type or plant group.
Botany is among the fastest growing fields of science in the global scale today.
From amongst the fields of Botany we have the Herbalism, because it had been Discovered since 7th & 8th centuries that some plants have a healing power for treating some specific human ailments, as a result, many of the early scientist made their contributions in this field.
The ancient chineese, egyptians, indians, babylonians & Native American were all herbalist, the oldest known list of medicinal herbs is Shen Nungs pen tsao a chinese herbal that is a compilation of even older oral traditions.
The ancient Greeks & Romans were all herbalist, a group of surgeons in the Roman army like Diaschorides & Gallen spread the herbal expertise through out the Roman empire in Spain, Germany, France & England. These hebalists compiled herbals that remained a definitive materia medica text for 1500 years.
Moreover, the association of humans & animals with plants obviously originated with the beginning of life on earth, when plants supplied much of the shelter, oxygen, food & medicine needed by higher life forms.
With the invention of printing press in the mid-fifteenth century, the works of the earliest scientist were mass produced & made accessible to the public.
Subsequently, From amongst the fields of Botany, we have the PLANTS BREEDING, which is the science & art of genetic modification of crops or changing the phenotype of the plant, so as to incorporate in traits in the plants, like: Drought resistance, increasing yield, To be tolerant to soem microorganism like bacteria & to increase the quality of the crop.
In conclusion, Botany remai the most important course of study in this era, this is due to its effectiveness in our sociieties, despite the medicinal use, plants are major sources of foreign exchange, Some of its parts like the wood can exported to other countries for making furniture & other industrial uses
