Forensic Plant Science, the study of forensic botany, is the application of plant science to the resolution of legal questions. As a plant's anatomy and ecological requirements are in some cases species-specific, the  correct interpretation of botanical evidence can give vital information about a crime scene or the whereabouts of a suspect or victim.

The use of botanical evidence in legal investigations is relatively new, with the first botanical testimony heard in a North American court centering on the analysis of the wood grain of the ladder used in the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh, Jr. Today, forensic botany encompasses numerous sub-disciplines of plant science, including their palynology, anatomy and dendrochronology, limnology, systematics, ecology, and molecular biology.

This book presents chapters on plant science evidence, plant anatomy, plant taxonomic evidence, plant ecology, and case studies for all of the above, as well the education and future outlook of forensic plant science.

  • Provides techniques, collection methods, and analysis of digested plant materials
  • Shows how to identify toxic and poisonous plants and herbal products
  • Includes an online website that hosts a microscopic atlas of common food plants, a key to the identification of food plants and references for plant identification and ecology

Muu info

As the use of botanical evidence in legal investigations is relatively new, this book highlights the state-of-the-art on forensic botany through the subdisciplines of plant anatomy, taxonomy, and ecology. Many other aspects of forensic plant science are discussed as well including diatomology and palynology.

Dr. Bock is a Professor emerita in biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She received her bachelors degree from Duke University, masters degree from Indiana University and Ph.D. (1966) from the University of California at Berkeley. All her degrees are in Botany. She taught, carried out research and published scientific work in population ecology and forensic botany at Boulder for over 30 years. Officially retired from teaching, she continues to do research as a forensic botanist and serve as an expert witness for the defense or the prosecution in homicide cases. She also lectures and continues to publish regularly. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, and was a founding member of both Necrosearch Ltd and the Ecology Section of the Botanical Society of America. David O. Norris is Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado. He obtained his BS from the Baldwin-Wallace University and his PhD from the University of Washington. His broad research areas include environmental endocrinology and forensic botany. In the area of environmental endocrinology, his studies have focused on the neuroendocrine control of thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive functions with special interest in the role of environmental factors that alter the activities of these neuroendocrine systems.
