UNC Asheville courses in which curricular modules are used and types of data generated by modules

Module	Course title, enrollment, description	Type of data generated
1. Effects of Abiotic Factors on Plant Transpiration	BIOL 211 (Principles of Botany), 75 biology, environmental studies majors	Photosynthetic responses of growth chamber–raised sunflowers (Helianthus annuus) to environmental changes
	BIOL 345 (Plant Physiology), 20 biology, environmental studies majors	Physiological attributes of invasive plant species, which typically show more rapid responses (van Kleunen et al., 2011) and higher rates of photosynthesis than noninvasive plants (Shen et al., 2011)

	BIOL/ENVR 442 (Forest Ecology), 20 biology, environmental studies majors	Growth rates and patterns of trees in areas with and without invasive lianas
3. Genetic and Phytochemical Diversity of Wild Ginseng, a Threatened Natural Resource	BIOL 211 (Principles of Botany), 75 biology, environmental studies majors	Levels of intra- and interpopulation microsatellite diversity in populations with different sizes, harvesting histories, and levels of protection (Young et al., 2012)
	BIOL 345 (Plant Physiology), 20 biology, environmental studies majors	Physiological responses of ginseng plants in different light environments
	BIOL 373 (Population Biology), 16 biology, environmental studies majors	Relationships between genetic diversity and demographic variables
4. Genetic Diversity and Seed Production in Virginia Spiraea, a Threatened Shrub	BIOL 211 (Principles of Botany), 75 biology, environmental studies majors	Estimates of genetic diversity and gene flow from microsatellite data
