Botanists study plants and plant systems and apply their knowledge in the disciplines of biology, ecology, reclamation, agriculture, horticulture, forestry, plant breeding, medicine, pharmaceuticals, forensics and plant biotechnology.
Since the field is so broad, botanists may specialize in various areas such as plant genetics, conservation work, environmental biology, limnology (the study of freshwater plants, animals and chemistry), mycology (the study of fungi), or taxonomy and systematics (the classification of plants and their relationships).
Botanists work for governments, universities and colleges, research and development departments in large corporations, botanical gardens, herbaria and museums, biotechnology firms, and environmental, forestry and agricultural consulting firms.
